Campus Rules
Food is NOT permitted in the classrooms.
Students are not to touch items found in classroom desks.
Students are not allowed to run in halls.
Skateboards, bicycles, rollerblades and dogs are not allowed on the campus of American Martyrs School or Church. Do not bring these to campus, including in the parking lot.

Parking
Parking is only permitted in the church parking lot. There is no parking on any of the streets surrounding the school. Park and escort your child to the school playground. Please pick up your child on the playground of the school following dismissal. The teacher will escort them to the dismissal area. You child must be escorted back to the parking lot with an adult.
Discipline
The School of Religious Education seeks to provide for each student an atmosphere of loving trust as a model of our greater community, American Martyrs Church. The students are expected to arrive to class on time, ready to learn and follow directions from the adults and classroom guidelines at all times. Every person is worthy of being treated with care and the respect fitting one made in the image and likeness of God. Therefore, classroom behavior needs to be one of genuine Christian care, mutual respect, ad honesty. Disruptive behavior prevents leaning for the whole class, and can be frustrating for the catechist who is volunteering his/her time for the good of the students.
