2020-2021 LCA Parent Statement of Cooperation

The following Statement of Understanding and Cooperation is signed by the student’s parents or guardians certifying the following:

*

We have read and understand the Student Conduct Agreement of Lighthouse Christian Academy (“LCA”).

*

We understand that the enrollment contract period is for one, 180-day school year (August-May). If our student is withdrawn or is dismissed for disciplinary reasons, we are still financially obligated to pay the full tuition rate for the year. We understand and acknowledge LCA is financially obligated to staff to employ them through our tuition costs for a full school year.

*

Any information we have given to or that is accumulated by the church and the school is confidential and used for inner-church and inner-school purposes only, and is not to be released to any person, agency, or organizations without our expressed written consent. We understand also that all such records are the property of LCA and that only such information which is normal and necessary for our child’s transfer to other schools will be released. The school maintains the right to withhold all other accumulated materials. We will not hold the school or the agents thereof liable for the contents of our child’s files. We understand that no records, including transcripts, will be released if any balance remains on our child’s account.

*

We acknowledge that the Bible places us on the primary responsibility for our child’s education. We are requesting the school’s assistance with this responsibility. We recognize the importance of a common bond of understanding and cooperation that must exist between the parent, school, and student. We pledge our cooperation in being knowledgeable about our child’s work and we will work to encourage and assist our child with studies in the home if necessary.

*

We pledge to speak well of the school and its authorities to our children, or not to speak at all. If at any time our attitude changes and we are no longer in harmony with the school’s policies, we will express it privately to the administration. If the matter cannot be resolved between us, we agree to withdraw our child in the spirit of Christian meekness.

*

In full cooperation with the school we will attend Orientation and Parent-Teacher Conferences.

*

We give permission for our child to take part in all school activities including bus trips, sports, and school-sponsored trips away from school premises, and absolve the school from any liability to us or our child because of any injury to or caused by our child at school or during a school activity. We also understand that any outside class socials or gatherings under the LCA organization must be cleared by the principal and must conform to LCA standards in every aspect.

*

We assume responsibility for any damage our child may do to church or school property.

*

We pledge to our financial obligations to Lighthouse Christian Academy on the due date and understand that a late fee of $50 may be assessed when payment is not received by the 10th of each month. We pledge to participate in all fundraisers scheduled through the year, or to pay a $200 fundraising fee in May for non-participation.

*

We understand that it is the policy of the school to make no refunds on registration charges, class fees or curriculum costs.

*

We will see that our son(s) and/or daughter(s) abide by all conduct and dress standards during the entire school year and through the last day of school. We understand that our child may be sent home if not dressed appropriately.

*

We will carefully read any school communication that may be sent home to us, including warnings or discipline notices, and will cooperate with the school in corrective measures.

*

The teachers and the administration of LCA are hereby given full discretion in the discipline of our child. This would include enforcing classroom regulations in a manner consistent with Christian principles, suspensions, and expulsions from the school program. LCA does not practice corporal punishment. If the students are beyond the control of the school officials, it is the parents’ responsibility to bring them into compliance with the school’s expectations.

*

Should, for whatever reason, legal action be taken against LCA or any employee or agent thereof on our child’s behalf, and the school or its agents not be found at fault, we agree to pay all attorney fees, court fees, damages or other costs that LCA or its agent should incur to defend itself against such legal action.

*

We understand that LCA reserves the right to withdraw, suspend, or expel any child who fails to comply with the established regulations and discipline policy, or whose financial obligation remains unpaid after 30 days.

*

We give permission for LCA to use any appropriate photograph of my child in any advertisement, brochure, newspaper release, or any other type of promotional material, publication, or LCA event. We release LCA from any claims for compensation for the use of said photographs.

We have read and understand the Parent Statement of Cooperation. We pledge our support and prayer to the administration and faculty as we work together to accomplish the goals and purposes of Lighthouse Christian Academy in the life of our son or daughter.
