TEACHER’S COMMITMENT

I fully commit to the Academy in the following ways:

• I will do whatever it takes for students to learn.

• Cell phone messages may be left at any time, and I will return messages between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. Sunday through Friday.

• I will always protect the safety, interests and rights of all individuals at the Academy.

PARENTS'/GUARDIANS' COMMITMENT

We fully commit to the Academy in the following ways:

• We will make sure that our child arrives at the Academy by 7:55 a.m. and stays until 4:00 p.m. every day.  School begins on July 28, 2008 and ends on June 11, 2009.

• Our child will only miss school due to illness, medical appointments, or bereavement.

• We will notify the teacher prior to the start of school if our child will be absent from school.

• We will do whatever it takes for our child to learn.

• We will check our child's homework every night, let him/her call the teacher if there is a problem with the homework, sign and return all tests, and ensure that our child reads at least 180 minutes every week.

• We will always make ourselves available to our children, the school, and address any concerns they may have. 

• We will carefully read all correspondence sent home from school.  We will allow our child to go on Academy field trips.

• We understand that our child must follow the Academy rules so as to protect the safety, interests, and rights of all individuals at the school.

• We, not the school, are responsible for the behavior and actions of our child. 

Failure to adhere to these commitments may cause my child to lose various Academy privileges, and can lead to my child leaving the Academy and being returned to a traditional school setting.
