8 In making application for my child, it is my desire to have him/her complete the school year It is also my understanding that the policy of the school is to make no refund on registration or testing fees. I give permission for my child to take part in all school activities, including sports and school sponsored trips away from the school premises, and I absolve the school from liability to me or my child because of injury to my child at school or during any school activity. I also give permission for emergency medical treatment, to be administered as deemed necessary by the attending medical per- sonnel, while the student is under the supervision of DBCS. This includes the school s sports program and all other school sponsored activities. I understand that DBCS occasionally enjoys using photographs of individual students (as well as the entire student body) in various newsletters, publication ads, brochures, bulletin boards, videos, school facebook page, and school websites.. I understand that if this is problematic for me, I will inform the office staff when submitting this application. I and my Middle/High School student have read and agree to support the school in following the policies stated in the Denbigh Baptist Christian School Handbook. If any questions or problems arise, I will bring them to the attention of the proper authority. Should I, or any member of my immediate family, reach a point of disagreement on an issue of a non-criminal nature with our Christian School and/or its legal corporate entity, in keeping with I Corinthians 6:1, I agree to submit to a board of conciliation, the members of which have been mutually selected by myself and officials of the school, rather than taking the dispute to a civil court. I agree that the procedure to be followed, including costs involved, would be that which has been established by the Association of Christian Conciliation Services. It is also my understanding that students are admitted for one year at a time, and that Denbigh Baptist Christian School reserves the right to dismiss a student at any time during the school year. Any student who persistently neglects work, who fails to meet academic standards, who exercises poor citizenship, or who fails to cooperate, may be asked to withdraw from the school. Specifics concerning academic, spiritual, and behavioral standards are detailed in the Student Handbook. Signature of Parent or Guardian Date
