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.
