Upon formal enrollment, I acknowledge that this is a co-teaching position between myself and the teaching staff at Vine Christian Academy, for the success of my student(s). I agree to holding and reporting grades at the state level, and understand that ultimately grades are mine, as the primary educator, to decide and reward my student(s) with. I acknowledge that the three entities I answer to as a home educator are the state of Tennessee, our Father, and my own student. I promise to stand behind the education I am offering my student as a co-laborer in their learning process.
I agree to come from a place of respect when engaging with teachers or other staff, as a default posture - even as I am advocating for my student. I agree to continue learning how to love as Jesus loves, with the parents beside me and the other students at Vine Christian Academy. I believe my role as a parent in the community is to represent Jesus to the people around me, and that students can be shown this through my example on how I walk out conflict within the student body or parent/staff community. I commit to being willing to work out all areas of conflict as far as it depends on me, taking on accountability for what can be grown in me, what mistakes are made that I might have ownership of, and what God is working within me for the good of those around me.
I am accountable to what is assigned to my student as independent or co-labored efforts on the home schooling days, and I agree to being held to a standard of respect for the lesson plans that will uphold the education my student receives. While flexibility is my right and privilege, I acknowledge that my student will be the one most impacted by assignments signed off or skipped, and I commit to communication in advance to the teaching staff, so that I may choose wisely on how to honor the education that is available on the campus days - further acknowledging that campus success is only accomplished when the lesson plan is followed at home, with my attention given to it as the primary educator.
I understand that as I sign my name to this agreement, and to the lesson plans as my student's shepherd in education, I am also acknowledging the expectation that Vine Christian Academy holds that I have seen and checked my student's work - so that I may stand behind the experience that both Vine and our home is offering, so that my student(s) may reap the benefits of the hybrid learning system.
