Policies and Procedures – Maple Ridge Christian School

As part of the School’s mission to nurture and educate children within a Christian worldview in accordance with its Foundational Documents, this agreement (this “Agreement”) serves to confirm the undersigned parents/guardians (“you” or “your”) commitment to the values, recommendations, and educational approach of the School and those set out in the Foundational Documents.

In consideration of the School permitting your child(ren) to participate in its programs and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged, you agree to all the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. By signing this Agreement, you agree to work together with the School in fostering a collaborative and Christ-centered learning environment in accordance with the commitments set out below and the Foundational Documents.

1. Commitment to Christ-Centered Values

You understand and support the School’s mission to provide an education rooted in a Christian worldview in accordance with Foundational Documents. You will:

• Uphold and model Christ-centered values in your interactions with staff, students, and the broader community of the School, fostering respect, empathy, and a spirit of unity and restoration in a diverse world.
• Encourage your child to grow in their faith and character, consistent with the teachings of Christ, equipping them to navigate and contribute meaningfully and restoratively to an ever-changing, diverse world.
• Pray for and encourage students and staff of the School.

2. Respect for School Professionals

You recognize the expertise, dedication, and authority of the School’s educators, support staff and leadership. You will:

• Collaborate with teachers and staff in a posture of curiosity, mutual respect and understanding.
• Respectfully work in conjunction and collaborate with the School professionals regarding the recommendations and guidance regarding your child’s academic progress, behaviour, and spiritual growth.
• Communicate concerns directly and constructively with the appropriate School personnel adhering to the School’s communication guidelines, as amended from time to time and a copy of which can be found at the following link: MRCS Communication Guidelines.

3. Active Collaboration and Support in Education

You acknowledge your vital role in your child’s educational journey. You will:

• Actively engage in your child’s education by supporting their learning at home and participating in School events when possible.
• Ensure your child’s regular attendance, timeliness, and preparedness for School activities.
• Reinforce the School’s disciplinary guidelines, policies, and practices to ensure a consistent message between home and school.

In addition, you recognize that active support and collaboration also includes:

• Fulfilling your financial obligation to the School (paying tuition and other fees owed to the School on time).
• Supporting the School through volunteering and fundraising initiatives when possible to strengthen the community and ensure the long-term sustainability of the School.
• Attending general meetings and town halls to be informed and to make reasonable efforts to participate in such meetings.

4. Support for School Policies

You commit to upholding the Foundational Documents and the policies and procedures outlined in the School’s Handbook & Policies, as amended from time to time. You will:

• Adhere to School’s policies and guidelines regarding academics, behaviour and extracurricular participation and the Foundational Documents.
• Respect the School’s decisions, student confidentiality and processes in handling disputes or challenges, trusting that they align with best practices in education.

Implications of Breach of this Agreement

You acknowledge and understand that the School desires reconciliation and restoration to relationships wherever possible and appropriate, based on the Biblical principles outlined in 1 Corinthians 6:1-8, Matthew 5:23-24, Matthew 18:15-20, among others. The School recognizes that we all fall short of Biblical standards. Therefore, except for cases of a serious failure to comply with this Agreement or a less serious failure to comply where you do not show evidence for a desire for reconciliation and restoration with the School in accordance with this section, the School will follow the steps outlined below:

1. Initial Dialogue

• The School will reach out to you to address the concern in a spirit of understanding and grace.
• A meeting will be scheduled to discuss the specific areas of concern, with the aim of restoring alignment with the School’s mission and values and the Foundational Documents.

2. Mutual Restoration Plan

• A restoration plan with actionable outcomes will be created to guide steps for restoring commitment to this Agreement. This may include specific actions, timelines, or additional support from the School.

3. Revisiting of Mutual Restoration Plan

• After 30 days, you and the School will discuss the Mutual Restoration Plan to determine whether it is working or if further adjustments to the Mutual Restoration Plan may be needed. This process will be repeated until the School confirms full realignment and recommitment with this Agreement.

If the School determines, at any time, that there has been a serious failure to comply with this Agreement or a less serious failure to comply with this Agreement without you evidencing a desire for reconciliation and restoration with the School in accordance with this section, the School reserves the right to impose immediate termination of your family’s relationship with the School, including your child(ren)’s enrolment at the School.

In all cases where the School discerns and determines the appropriate consequences for your failure to comply with this Agreement, the School will act in good faith, reasonably, and with clear communication to you after consideration of the relevant circumstances and the appropriate consequences.

Annual Review and Renewal

This Agreement is to be reviewed and signed annually as part of the annual enrollment process. By doing so, you affirm your commitment to the Foundational Documents, the mission and the shared goals of the School. This Agreement must be completed in full, signed, dated before your child(ren) will be permitted to be enroled in the School for the 2025-26 school year.

Sincerely,

MAPLE RIDGE CHRISTIAN SCHOOL
