Acknowledgment and Stakeholders Involvement

Component 2

Parents:

All of the parents at Saints Peter and Paul school participate in Parent Improvement Program (PIP). Through this program they are required to donate time volunteering at school. Parents can earn a variety of PIP points depending on the activity. See Parent Improvement Program on page 120.

Parishioners:

Our parishioners actively support the school. This is done by participating in school fundraisers, donating needed items to the school, and help in the repair and upkeep of the school building and grounds. We are also fortunate to have the Wednesday Men’s Club who volunteer their time to make repairs in the school, and construct shelves and other items for the classrooms.

Students:

Our students are eager to learn all aspects of technology. The views of the students were considered for this technology plan. Every class was surveyed during one of their computer classes. They were asked what they wanted for the computers. The younger students said more programs while the older students voted to have a school news paper. Students in grades kindergarten through sixth grade have computers once a week and grades seven and eight have computers twice a week. All classes are forty minutes long.

Public Library:

Collinsville Memorial Library      The librarians at the Collinsville Memorial Library come to school to 408 West Main Street                        encourage our student to participate in their reading programs. They
