STATEMENT REGARDING POSSIBLE STUDENT DEMONSTRATION AT HOLY REDEEMER HIGH SCHOOL
February 28, 2008
 

Parents of Holy Redeemer High School are being contacted by the school regarding a possible demonstration by students in support of the Scranton Diocese Association of Catholic Teachers (SDACT).  Parents are being notified by phone calls and/or e-mail,
and the following letter will be posted on the school’s online service available to
parents.  The letter will also be posted on the Diocese of Scranton website (www.dioceseofscranton.org) and e-mailed to media.
 

Dear Parents, 

The freedom of students to express support for their teachers is not prohibited by Holy Redeemer High School. 

Such freedom, however, must not be exercised during school hours because it might endanger student safety and will certainly disrupt the required good order of the
school. 

The Catholic education of the students in a safe, secure environment is of primary importance to the Administration, Teachers and Staff of Holy Redeemer High School. 

Therefore, student support is to take place before or after school hours or on the weekend. 

Parents are hereby asked to advise students that disciplinary action will follow if a
student leaves either class or the school building during school hours without
permission. 

Sincerely, 

Mr. James Redington                     Mrs. Anita Sirak
Principal                                     Associate Principal
