School/Family Cooperation
important issues and encourages all students and their parents to report any concern about boundary crossing behavior, sexual misconduct, or any other situation that impacts the safety, health, or security of any member of our community to their division head or the Head of School.
All adults have an obligation to model through both language and behavior the values and expectations we have as a school and Christian community, being especially conscious of their actions at times and places when students can observe them. Students must be mindful of the power they have in various roles at school. They must use their roles constructively, always avoiding intimidation and abuse of authority. Older and returning students must take seriously the power of their example on younger and newer students, accepting the responsibility to model and transmit our school and Christian values.
These community standards apply to our words and behavior not only in personal interactions, but also in all forms of electronic media and communications.
As members of this community, we acknowledge that our actions reflect not only on ourselves, but also on the school as a whole and therefore strive to live in a way that is consistent with our values.
School/Family Cooperation
A positive and constructive relationship between the School and Family (Parent, Student, or other Family Member) is essential to the fulfillment of the School's educational purpose and responsibilities to its students. If any Family Member engages in behavior, communications, or interactions on or off campus (including during Schoolsponsored events), is disruptive, intimidating, or overly aggressive, or reflects a loss of confidence or serious disagreement with the School's policies, methods of instruction, or discipline, or otherwise interferes with the School's safety procedures, responsibilities, or accomplishment of its educational purpose or program, the School reserves the right in its discretion to dismiss the Family or Family Member from the community. In addition, the School reserves the right to place restrictions on a Family Member's involvement or activity at School, on School property, or at School-related events if the Family Member engages in behavior or has a status (such as a criminal conviction) that would reasonably suggest that such restrictions may be appropriate for the community. There will be no refund of tuition where such enforced withdrawal occurs, and any unpaid balance is payable in full according to the terms of this Agreement. If, for any reason, it is in the best interest of the School, the School also reserves the right to withdraw an offer of enrollment or re-enrollment at any time, and to void an executed Enrollment Agreement.
