PARENT COMMITMENT AND STATEMENT OF COOPERATION

Home Education
Cross Creek Christian School is a parent-directed home education program and parents are required to teach their children at home with assignments according to lesson plans provided by the teachers. Two days a week of teaching does not complete a student's education and parents are responsible to teach on the days that the student is not attending classes.

Families are encouraged to enhance and individualize the home education program as needed. Cross Creek Christian School's administration and teachers are available to give guidance in regards to individualizing a child's education. Parents are first and foremost responsible for their child's education. The partnership between the parent and the teacher will be based on trust and a mutual desire to honor the Lord Jesus Christ in all that is taught to our children. The Parent, as the primary instructor, is responsible for keeping and reporting attendance and grade reports.

Reporting
I understand that I must complete all required attendance and progress reports. Failure to turn in these reports will lead to your child's dismissal from Cross Creek.

Parent Partnership
I understand that Cross Creek is a cooperative venture among all of the families that they serve. I understand the importance of volunteering and participating in the various activities and fundraising efforts of the school. I will volunteer as a classroom parent at least one day per semester.

Employment I understand that once this application is approved that I become a teacher of Cross Creek Christian School. As such, I agree to follow all of Cross Creek's policies and procedures. I also understand that my home becomes a satellite campus of Cross Creek for the purpose of educating my own child(ren).

STUDENT AND FAMILY CODE OF CONDUCT AGREEMENT:

Cross Creek Christian School emphasizes three goals:
1) Developing character qualities that exemplify Jesus Christ
2) Striving for academic excellence
3) Serving others within the home, classroom, school, and community I am applying as a student of Cross Creek because I desire for these goals to be developed in my life.

As a student of Cross Creek I agree to:

Follow all policies of the school, including those found in the school policy handbook. Show honor to God in my speech, dress and conduct. Make my studies a priority and continue to do my personal best at all times. Accept my place of leadership to younger students and model appropriate behavior to them. Strive to follow Colossians 3:23 by doing everything as unto the Lord, including showing a positive and constructive attitude. Guard against cheating, lying, and other dishonoring behaviors. Use Matthew 18 model of conflict resolution. Develop my gifts and talents in order to build up others around me. Show respect to my classmates by demonstrating kindness and refraining from teasing, gossip, and hurtful actions. Seek opportunities to daily serve others around me by putting others before myself. Follow directions the first time they are given. Show respect to visitors in the way that my teacher has appointed. Show respect by being courteous in the hallways and by careful use of the facilities and grounds.

As an extension of the respect policy, we ask that students refrain from bringing any type of toys or recreational magazines to school, as well as to avoid discussions regarding movies or popular music. These things do not lend themselves to a productive academic setting and can cause unnecessary distractions.
