The Shelby County School System’s mission is to provide learning opportunities and experiences which meet the needs and maximize the potential of all students in a positive, safe, learning environment that stimulates intellectual curiosity, commitment, and academic achievement; develops personal qualities and well-being which leads to positive principles, habits, and attitudes conducive to good physical and mental health; promotes an acceptable self-concept and work ethic necessary to productive citizenship; and fosters respect for the total environment and the individual differences of its inhabitants.

    Woodstock Middle School’s staff wishes to work with you, your child, and family in building a partnership to help your child achieve the state’s high standards of education. We believe that high student performance is a shared responsibility for parents, school staff, and students.

    We invite you to attend parent-teacher conferences, to share regular progress reports, and to visit, to volunteer, to participate, and/or observe your child’s class.

    We promise to work together for the success of his/her school experience. In return we ask that as a parent, you promise that you will become involved on behalf of your child:

• encourage punctual and regular school attendance;

• support my child’s learning at home;

• provide my child with support, love, and understanding;

• monitor television watching at home;

• represent my child, when possible, at school functions;

• participate as appropriate in decisions relating to the education of my child;

• communicate with my child’s teachers;

• support the school in its effort to maintain proper discipline and to encourage self-control and self-motivation; and uphold the teacher and the school.
