Before you begin

Note: Please read the following instructions carefully before beginning.

In order to complete this document you will need:

1. A picture / PDF of your child's Birth certificate, Permanent Resident Card (if applicable), or other Work Visa Documents (if applicable).
2. A picture / PDF of your child's most recent report card (if they have attended school previously).
3. Your child's Alberta Health Number
4. Your child's Alberta Student Number (ASN), if they have one.
5. A picture of your child (shoulders up, taken on your phone works great)
6. A picture of mom and dad (individual pictures, shoulders up, taken on your phone work great)

If you are unable to complete a section of this form because of lost documentation, please contact MBA at 780 619 8882.

Why does MBA want parent pictures? Good question. As a result of COVID-19 (ie. less face to face interaction),  and as the school grows in size, MBA staff want to do a better job of putting a face to the name of our MBA parents. 

What type of picture should I submit? Just a picture from the shoulders up (snapped on your cell phone) is fine!

Statement of Commitment 2022-2023

In making application to Meadows Baptist Academy, I understand I am partnering with this educational institution for the spiritual, academic, and character development of my child. I understand it is the parent’s responsibility before God to accomplish these tasks (Eph. 6:4), but I am enlisting Meadows Baptist Academy to assist me in that responsibility. Furthermore, I understand that it is my responsibility as a parent to speak respectfully of the staff at MBA. I acknowledge that a positive relationship between parents and MBA is essential for the my child to be successful.

ACADEMIC GUIDELINES

• I understand the administration of Meadows Baptist Academy wants my child to receive the best possible education, and I will allow them to place my child at the grade level most beneficial to them. Also, I agree to allow the school to access RCSD (occupational therapist and speech language pathologist) should my child need extra help in their academics.
• I understand that, in order for my child to derive the maximum benefit from his education, I may need to work with them at home if they experience difficulties in mastering material.
• I understand that regular class attendance is essential for academic progress and is therefore required. I understand that, should my child miss significant class time, I as the parent, bear the primary responsibility for catching my child up.

DISCIPLINE GUIDELINES

• I understand that discipline, at times, is necessary in developing Christ like character in the life of a Christian young person (II Timothy 3:17) and give my permission to the teachers and administration to implement the needed discipline as prescribed in the Parent/Student Handbook. I understand this could include detention, suspension, and expulsion or a variety of other service projects.
• I also understand that in developing Christ like character in our young people, it is our goal that our child(ren) exhibit Christ like characteristics both in and out of school. With that in mind, I understand that Meadows Baptist Academy is asking their students to not participate in those activities that do not honor God, whether at home or at school. MBA exists to collaborate with parents, not in order to replace them. For the partnership between home and school to be effective, the expectations must be the same at home as they are at school.
• As a parent, I agree to support Meadows Baptist Academy with a cooperative attitude and a positive spirit. I understand that a critical spirit (Philippians 4:8) is unbiblical and agree to follow the outline that is exhibited in Matthew 18 should I disagree with the actions of the faculty or with school policies.

FINANCIAL GUIDELINES

I understand that it is necessary for tuition and fees to be paid on a timely basis for Meadows Baptist Academy to meet its financial obligations. I agree to pay any fees incurred as a result of late tuition payment. I understand that, in the event the tuition and fees are not paid on a consistent basis, my child may be denied re-enrollment at MBA.

• I will endeavor to drop off and pick up my children according to the times laid out in the parent/student handbook.
• I recognize that it is my responsibility to contact the school should any of my contact information, children's medical information, or other information need updating.

• I understand that, in the case of an accident or serious illness, parents will be called to determine the course of action. In case of a serious accident or life-threatening situation, both the parents and an emergency medical service will be contacted. I will notify the school immediately of any changes on the contact names or phone numbers listed on the emergency sheet so that the school will have current contact information and be able to reach someone quickly in an emergency.
• I recognize that Meadows Baptist Academy is a distinctly Christian school, and as such, I agree to support the teachings of the school’s statement of faith as outlined in the Parent -Student Handbook.
