School Rules

To ensure a smooth and respectful learning environment for everyone, please familiarize yourself with our school policies regarding strikes, absences, tardiness, and family volunteer participation.

Strikes

A strike system is in place to address repeated policy violations.

• Three Strikes: A family accumulating three strikes will be ineligible to register for the following school year.

• Termination for Major Offenses: The school reserves the right to terminate a student's enrollment immediately for major offenses. In such cases, all outstanding fees must be cleared and any damages paid in full.

Strikes can be issued for the following reasons:

• No-Shows (for both students and parent volunteers)

• Absences

• Tardiness

• Minor Violations

No-Shows (Parents & Volunteering)

No-shows apply to parents for their assigned volunteer tasks. A no-show is defined as either not showing up for your assigned task or arriving late.

• Avoiding a No-Show: You can avoid a no-show by arranging a substitute volunteer for your absence.

• Cancellation Notice: If you cannot provide a substitute, you must provide seven days' notice for any cancellations.

• Volunteer Deposit Charges: A fee may be applied towards your $200 volunteer deposit for no-shows that cause an impact on your signed-up task:

  • $10 for minor impact

  • $25 for moderate impact

  • $50 for major impact

• Assessment of Charges: The volunteer team will assess these charges.

• Deposit Adjustment: Any charges applied during the school year will be subtracted from your $200 volunteer deposit when it is returned or applied towards the next school year's deposit.

Absences & Tardiness (Student Punctuality)

Punctuality is crucial for student success and respect for others.

• Tardiness Strikes: Three instances of student tardiness will result in one strike.

Minor Violations (Student Behavior)

Minor violations are triggered by student behavior that goes against school expectations. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Not following instructions

• Damaging school property

• Disrespecting teachers and Sunday school staff

• Violations and Strikes: Three minor violations will result in one strike.

Minimum Participation Threshold and Enrollment Status

Family participation in volunteer service is a cornerstone of our program.

• Minimum Service Hours: Failure to complete a minimum of three volunteer service hours per family in a school year will result in the withdrawal of the enrolled child(ren) from the following school year's enrollment.

• Program Integrity: This minimum threshold is critical for maintaining the operational standards and community engagement integral to our program.
