Parent-Staff Relations |
We thank God for the opportunity to have a part in the education of your child. We do not take this responsibility lightly. The staff of N.E.C.A. is dedicated to the task of giving your child the best education possible.
The school is an extension of your home and we recognize the importance of the home and school working together for the spiritual and academic growth of the child. In light of this, we require one of the parents or guardians to be a "Born Again" Christian who knows the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior. (John 3:3, I Peter 1:23). It is understood that the parent/guardian serves as a role model. The parent/guardian will manifest by precept and example the highest Christian virtue and personal decorum, serving as a Christian role model (I Timothy 4:12, Luke 6:40). This includes, but is not limited to, the refraining from such activities as the abuse of alcohol, illicit drugs, and the use of vulgar and profane language. (Colossians 3:17, Titus 2:7-8, I Thessalonians 2:10, I Thessalonians 5:18, 22-23, and James 3:17-18). All parents/guardians must agree to accept the school's interpretation of Biblical standards for their sexual behavior, that any sexual misconduct including but not limited to – premarital, extramarital, or homosexual activity; use or viewing of pornographic material or websites; violates the requirements of being a Christian role model. I agree that such behaviors may be grounds for immediate dismissal of my child (ren) from N.E.C.A... The parent/guardian will faithfully attend a local church whose fundamental beliefs are in agreement with the Statement of Faith of this school. (Hebrews 10:25)
Parent/Teacher Conferences are scheduled each quarter for you to meet with the school personnel and discuss the needs of your child(ren). We ask that all students and parents participate in these beneficial conferences, which are scheduled on the school calendar.
We ask that parents respect the faculty's time at home with their own families. Please contact your child's teacher through the school rather than calling him/her at home unless requested to do so by the teacher. If a teacher is unavailable when you call, the school secretary will be more than happy to leave a message for the teacher to call you back. Every effort will be made to return your call as soon as possible.
As parent(s), you understand that the type of Christian education provided at New England Christian Academy requires cooperation and a partnership between the parents of the students and the school administration and faculty. As parents, you hereby pledge your full support and cooperation with N.E.C.A. and agree to withdraw your child (ren) if at any time you find that you cannot support school philosophy, policies, faculty, and administration. As parent(s) you further agree to abide by the Biblical principles of moral and spiritual conduct of Matthew 18:15, Galatians 6:1, Proverbs 15:1 and 1 Corinthians 6:1-6 in resolving any disagreement or dispute you may have with the school or its administration or faculty. You understand that your failure to abide by this agreement or violation of any current or future school policy or procedure may be grounds for dismissal of your child(ren) from school.
Matthew 18:15 -- "If a brother sins against you, go to him privately and confront him with his fault. If he listens and confesses it, you have won back a brother."
Galatians 6:1 – "Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted."
Proverbs 15:1 – "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger."
I Corinthians 6:1-6 – "If any of you has a dispute with another, dare you take it before the ungodly for judgment instead of before God's people? 2 Or do you not know that God's people will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases? 3 Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life! 4 Therefore, if you have disputes about such matters, do you ask for a ruling from those whose way of life is scorned in the church? 5 I say this to shame you. Is it possible that there is nobody among you wise enough to judge a dispute between believers? 6 But instead, one brother goes to law against another—and this in front of unbelievers!"
