St. Martin de Porres Catholic School

This Family Handbook has been compiled in accordance with the guidelines of the Catholic Schools Office, Diocese of Fort Worth. Its purpose is to provide a convenient reference to the policies, procedures, and practices of St. Martin de Porres Catholic School, Prosper, Texas.

It must be emphasized that the rules and regulations are not ends in themselves, but means to an end, that of preparing the child for what s/he must be and do in order to attain the sublime purpose for which s/he was created.

At your child's Baptism the following was prayed: "God is the giver of all life, human and divine. May God bless the father of this child. He and his wife will be the first teachers of their child in the ways of faith. May they also be the best teachers, bearing witness to the faith by what they say and do." St. Martin de Porres Catholic School will fulfill its educative mission for your child to the degree that this prayer is made real in your lives. Ultimately, you, the parents, will transmit the faith to your child(ren). We welcome you to St. Martin de Porres Catholic School and look forward to partnering with you in the spiritual and educational formation of your child.
