I understand that this school is governed by a Board of Directors, the majority of which are parents or guardians of students enrolled in BCCS.

I will encourage my child to read. By my personal participation, I will help the school to make learning a primary occupation for my child.

I will supervise my child’s homework to insure that all assignments are completed on schedule. If I am incapable of supervising my child’s homework, I will notify the school and cooperate with the school to establish an acceptable alternative method for assuring that my child’s homework is completed on schedule.

I will insure that my child is dressed in clothing in accordance with the dress code established by BCCS.

My child will be sent to school healthy and clean.

I will meet with my child’s teacher at least twice a year or as requested.

I will volunteer my time according to the needs of the school, which are currently twenty hours per semester per family (ten hours per semester for single parents), by agreeing to accept a fair share of the work to be done as directed by the Governing Board. I understand that if I do not complete my volunteer hours within the semester period, I will be required to appear before the BCCS Board to answer for my failure to fulfill my obligations. Failure to appear will result in termination of enrollment privileges for the next semester.

I understand that practicing civic responsibility is an important part of the learning experience at BCCS; therefore, I will provide or arrange for transportation for my child to school-organized volunteer community activities or I will provide reasonable notice to the school if I need assistance to find transportation for my child.

I understand that the policy of BCCS is to promote students from grade to grade based solely on academic performance.

 

I understand that I am to keep the school informed at all times of a phone number and address where I can be reached during school hours. It is my responsibility to submit in writing any changes that may occur from the original enrollment contract.

I understand that this contract is an agreement with all other parents in the school to support the faculty, staff, and volunteers as they work to help me make my child a productive, cooperative member of the school and community.

 

I understand that I will take responsibility for my child’s behavior in school.

 

I understand that after reasonable interventions have been attempted without success, the Governing Board has the authority to suspend, expel or recommend that a child be withdrawn from BCCS if the following circumstances occur:

a) Student’s behavior violates the Conduct and Discipline Code which I have read and understand; and/or

b) The parent, guardian, or mentor fails to take responsibility for the conduct of the student or fails to cooperate with the school to correct the student’s behavior.

c) The parent, guardian, or mentor fails to comply with terms of the Family Contract and the policies of the school handbook.

I understand that any student suspended or expelled from a Charter School is entitled to enroll in a public school in the District in which the student resides so long as the student would not have been subject to suspension or expulsion under the disciplinary policy of the local school system for the conduct which gave rise to the suspension or expulsion.

 

 

By signing this Contract, I am stating that I have read the above, and I understand what is expected of me as a parent/guardian.
