A Word To The Parents

Parents are earnestly requested to read carefully all regulations and recommendations in order that they may place their children in Pine Forge Academy with an intelligent understanding of its principles and requirements. They are urged to give the faculty their whole-hearted cooperation and support in upholding the standards of the school. This can be done by urging students to study diligently¸ attend classes regularly¸ submit assignments in a timely manner, grant no permission which will conflict with school regulations and demonstrate at all times to their children the confidence they have in the faculty.

A very important part of the training¸ which a student receives in school¸ is that which is obtained through association with others in the dormitory. Such training as they receive in the dormitory cannot be obtained from their class work it comes through their contact with the varied characteristics¸ ideas, and intellectual attainments of their fellow students. This environment is thus designed to establish wholesome friendships while working and living with those of other families.

“In the formation of character¸ no other influence counts so much as the home. The teacher´s work should supplement that of the parents, but it is not to take its place. In all that concerns the well-being of the child it should be the effort of parents and teachers to cooperate.” Education¸ p 283.
