Parent Agreement The relationship between Lighthouse Christian Academy and the parents of LCA students is critical to the partnership we endeavor to establish. Therefore, please read the following Parent Agreement and indicate agreement/support by initialing, signing, and dating the application. Parental Support: I agree to support the members of the Lighthouse Christian Academy faculty, staff, administration and Board of Trustees. This support includes showing proper respect to all school personnel and agreeing to bring any questions or criticism regarding procedure or discipline directly to the person involved. I agree to use the principles found in Matthew 18:15 ( If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. ESV) for any issues of concern. Please see the Student/Parent Handbook for more information. Financial Obligation: I agree to meet all of my financial obligations to Lighthouse Christian Academy. All financial obligations are detailed in the signed Financial Agreement Contract. Statement of Faith: I give permission for Lighthouse Christian Academy to teach all elements of the Statement of Faith as found in the Student/Parent Handbook to my student and am willing to support the school in its endeavors to encourage and guide my student in applying these doctrines to everyday living. I realize that a Christian school is not a substitute for the spiritual training, fellowship, and discipline of the home and local church. I agree to pray for the ministry of the school, the staff members, the trustees, and fellow families as I join in partnership with LCA. Policies and Procedures: I will fully support the policies, procedures, and School Code of Conduct as outlined in the current student handbook. I further understand that any violation of these policies and procedures will result in appropriate action by proper school personnel. I will encourage my child to show honor to God, to the Word of God, and to those in authority. Daily Attendance and Participation: I agree to ensure my student s timely attendance on a daily basis unless prohibited by illness or other extenuating circumstances and to encourage my student in the accomplishment of homework, projects, and other school-related activities. I agree to notify the school office immediately when my student is absent. Mandated Testing: I agree to have my child participate in all required standardized testing. School Activities: I give permission for my student to take part in all school activities, including sports and school-sponsored trips away from the school premises and hold the school blameless from any liability because of injury. In case of an accident or serious illness, I (1) request the school to attempt to contact me and (2) if they are unable to reach me, I authorize the school to seek medical attention for my student. Parental Involvement Hours: I agree to donate a minimum of 20 hours (per family). I understand I will be invoiced $15.00 per hour not donated. Student Audio/Visual Reproduction and Use: Unless I notify LCA in writing, I consent to and authorize the use and reproduction by LCA of any and all photographs and any other audio/visual materials taken of my student for promotional material, educational activities, exhibitions or for any other use for the benefit of the school. IMPORTANT - You must notify LCA in writing if you DO NOT consent to this provision now or at any time in the future. I agree that when I am no longer in a position to honor one or more of the above commitments, I will notify the school administrator in writing. In accordance with the tenor and teachings of God s Word, I further agree that a determination of the continuation of this partnership will be made in a manner pleasing to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
