Parent Expectations

Suburban Christian School agrees that the Bible places the ultimate responsibility for each child upon his own parent; and the school, therefore, recognizes the absolute right of a parent (guardian) to privately counsel with school authorities over matters concerning their

own child and even the right to withdraw a child when the parent (guardian) feels there is not substantial harmony between their own expectations and the school’s policies.

 

For their part, parents (guardians) understand that the school is an entity, which must operate by its own convictions and standards

lest each student do “that which is right in his own eyes” and there be chaos as a result.  Furthermore, in a spirit of Christian

cooperation and support, parents (guardians) agree:

 

                  1.  To guarantee my child(ren)’s adherence to the rules and standards of the school and of their respective teachers.

2.   To provide help and support at home to my child(ren) so that academic goals may be achieved.  This may   include, for example, providing encouragement and a satisfactory time and place for the student to complete homework.   

3.   To show a genuine interest in the progress and grade reports concerning my child(ren).

   4.  To cooperate with reasonable school request, e.g. for special conferences and for checking or assisting with student

         homework assignments, etc.

   5.  To attend, if at all reasonably possible, regularly scheduled school programs involving my child(ren).

   6.  To NEVER malign the school or any of its personnel or policies.  Biblically (Matthew 18:15-17), the proper procedure for

        any questions, grievance, or offense is to go directly and privately to the ones responsible for the difficulty.  Also, this action

        is never to be a confrontation, but rather a calm conference designed to gain an understanding of the facts and to restore a

       good relationship.  By the same standard, the school is obligated never to publicly discuss the shortcomings of particular

       students.

   7.  To support the disciplinary measure that may be found necessary by the school.

   8.  To pay all tuition installments and other fees in timely fashion.  Tuition is due on the 1st of each month and if received by the

        10th there will be no late fee.  After the 10th, a late fee of $25.00 will be added to my account.  All those leaving Suburban

        Christian School during the year will be required to pay the balance on the building fund payment plus tuition through the

        month of attendance.  Interest of 1.5% per month will be charged on any amount 60 days in arrears.

   9. To be responsible for all collection fees and attorney fees, if any incurred if collection measures become necessary.

 10.  To give permission for my child(ren) to take part in ALL school-sponsored trips/activities on or off the school premises and

        absolve the school from liability because of any injury to my child(ren).

  11.  To contribute helpful, constructive ideas to teachers and administration.

12.  To support and promote the school as opportunities arise.

13.  To demonstrate a consistent Christian life in harmony with he Biblical principles taught at school.

14.  To read the “STUDENT DRESS and APPEARANCE STANDARDS” in the student handbook and agree to see to it

 that my child(ren) adhere to it.
