These are the basic policies Shelby Crossings Christian School has established for enrollment and documentation.
I. Enrollment Policies
A. The Church School’s fiscal year will be from July 1 to June 30.
B. The School Board reserves the right to approve or disapprove enrollment of any family.
C. The principal teaching parent must agree to be a volunteer faculty member (receiving no financial compensation from SCCS).
D. Parents must understand they are the ones fully responsible and liable for their children’s education and sign a statement indicating so.
E. The need for discipline of individual families should be small because of the small group size and the accountability between the members. Should discipline be necessary, it will be handled in as Biblical a manner as possible. The following steps will be used:
1. A meeting will be held between the Administrator and the family.
2. A meeting will be held between the School Board and the family.
3. If steps 1 and 2 fail to resolve the problem, the family will be dismissed from the School.
F. If for any reason, a family withdraws from the school, it is the Administrator’s responsibility to inform, in writing, the Superintendent of the local school board.
II. Enrollment Procedures
A. Submit an Application to the Church School. The Application requires but is not limited to the following:
1. A statement indicating agreement with the Church School’s policies and understanding of The Church at Shelby Crossings’ Theological Tenets.
2. A Release of Liability Disclaimer releasing the Church School and Church from responsibility for the child’s education. Realize that becoming a member of this Church School is not a guarantee to keep you out of court; however, it will provide your family with a valid statutory defense.
3. Submit a Church School Enrollment Form for each child. The parent will file this form with the Superintendent of the local school board, upon the child’s initial enrollment into the school, as required by law. Parent teachers retain a copy of this form for their records, and submit a copy to SCCS.
B. Pay the $30.00 non-refundable application fee with completed application. $120.00 annual tuition per family is due by June 30th. After June 30, the application fee is $60. Re-enrolling families submit tuition of $120 by June 30. New families' late enrollment is $60 for application, and $150 for tuition.
III. Further Documentation
A. An Attendance Summary. We recommend 180 school days in attendance. The principal teacher must keep attendance recorded for each day of the school year as mandated by the Alabama Code. Teachers must submit a copy of this attendance record by June 30.
B. Any schoolwork or records desired by the parents.
