7 PARENTAL SUPPORT AND COMMITMENT FORM North Valley Christian Academy is a partnership between parents and the school. The opportunity for families to choose an education at NVCA requires parental understanding of the commitment to the various policies and procedures necessary for the efficient operation of NVCA. These are listed below in the form of statements of support and commitment. 1. We recognize that our child s education needs strong, positive parental support. Therefore, we will support all school policies and procedures and the authority of the board, administration, faculty and staff. Additionally, we agree to pray for the students, volunteer our time, and attend events and activities throughout the year. ( Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities... Titus 3:1-2) 2. We agree that if a conflict arises between our child/family and others in the NVCA family (students, parents, faculty, staff, or administrator), we will address the concern directly with that person alone. This policy of conflict resolution is based on the biblical principle found in Matthew 18: If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. 3. We agree that NVCA has full discretion for the grade placement and teacher assignment of our child. 4. We agree to cooperate with the school to ensure our child s daily attire meets the Dress Code. 5. We are aware of the rules of North Valley Christian Academy and will actively support NVCA in the administration of those rules. 6. We grant permission for our child to attend all school-sponsored trips and activities throughout the school year unless we request, in writing, non-participation in an event. 7. We understand that our child s likeness may be photographed or videotaped by the school in the course of school activities. We hereby give consent for the school to use our child s likeness in promotional and/or advertising materials, including the use of video and still photos on the school s website. We understand that to withhold consent, we must provide a written statement, signed and dated, to the school. 8. We give authority to the administrative designee to render care of first aid in case of illness or injury. 9. Due to sensitivities NVCA is a peanut/nut sensitive campus. NO peanut or nut containing products are allowed. 10. We understand that if at any time the school determines, in its sole discretion, that our actions do not support the school, its values, the ministry, or reflect a lack of cooperation and commitment to the home and school working together, the school has the right to request the withdrawal of our child. 11. We have read the NVCA Statement of Faith (page 5) and understand that these biblical tenets will be taught and applied throughout the school program. We have read all of the policy provisions listed on this Parental Support and Commitment Form. The signatures below indicate our understanding of these policies.
