PARENT AGREEMENT/COMMITMENT

By signing below, we give permission for our child(ren) to take part in all school activities, including sporting events, practices, and school-sponsored trips off campus unless we specifically notify the appropriate school officials otherwise.  Further, in the event our child becomes ill or is injured while under school supervision, we authorize the school authorities to take the steps necessary, as designated on the Emergency Medical Release form on file in the school office.  We release Springfield Christian School, its Board of Education, employees, and representatives from any claim we may have resulting from any illness or injuries sustained by our child(ren) while under school supervision whether at school or off premises.  We further agree to hold harmless Springfield Christian School, it Board of Education, employees, and representatives from any injury or damage which may be caused by our child(ren).

In signing this form, we acknowledge the following:

1. I/We hereby endorse the statement of faith of Springfield Christian Schools and consent to the training given by the school in accordance with the doctrinal statement of the school.
2. We shall support and uphold the principles, practices, rules, regulations, and educational policies of the school.  If we disagree with school policy, we will resolve conflicts in a godly and biblical manner.  We will solve our problems based upon the way scripture tells us in Matthew 18:15-16 which requires first, a process of personal communication only with those involved.  Any question or complaint is to be handled by the people initially involved.  If the situation isn’t worked out between these people, then and only then, the problem is to be taken to the next highest person in charge.  If, for example, a student has a complaint against a teacher, the proper line to follow is: student ? teacher ? principal ? school board.  A student may request a parent’s involvement at any point in this process.
3. We understand that the school makes no refunds on any testing fees or registration fees and that book fees are nonrefundable after the student has started attending classes.
4. We also believe that discipline is necessary for the welfare of each student as well as for the entire school.  We give permission for my child’s teacher and/or other agent of the school to make and enforce classroom regulations in a manner consistent with Christian principles and discipline as set forth in the Scriptures.  We further agree that we shall cooperate and discipline our child in the home.
5. We agree to relieve the school board and any of its employees from any liability in connection with activities, instructions, and academic achievement unless malfeasance and/or negligence can be proven.  Should legal action, for any reason, be taken against Springfield Christian Schools or any employee or agent thereof on our child’s behalf and the school or its agent not be found at fault, we agree to pay any attorney fees, court fees, damages, or other costs that Springfield Christian Schools or its agent should incur to defend itself against such action.
6. I/We promise/agree to pay tuition as scheduled. If for any reason an account becomes delinquent by more than one (1) month, we agree to contact the business office and make arrangements.  The arrangements must be kept in order for our student(s) to continue to be enrolled at Springfield Christian Schools.  The principal must approve such arrangements. 
7. We further agree to the following financial policy on early withdrawal or late entry:
• Early Withdrawal:  A withdrawal is figured on the basis of teacher contract days.  The parent will be billed for the pro-rated tuition to the end of the withdrawal month. Each student’s book fees of $110 must be paid in full in addition to the pro-rated tuition.  Registration fees are non-refundable.
• Late Entry:  A student entering after the official start of school is assessed tuition and activity fees based on actual teacher contract days remaining from the beginning of the entry month.  The book fee must be paid in full, as well as the registration fee.
8. We understand that should our marital status change, it is our responsibility to have a corrected Statement of Cooperation signed, updated, and delivered to Springfield Christian Schools.
9. We realize that transcripts will not be released if money is due.
