Affirmation of Commitment and Rules
I understand that in order for our family to participate in NBHSA Tuesday School, we must fulfill the following requirements.
- Understand that NBHSA is a Christ-centered interdenominational non-profit support group of home schooling families and functions as such.
- Understand that the NBHSA Tuesday School is a parent-student-teacher cooperative, and your involvement with your student’s education does not end with enrollment at the Tuesday School.
- Complete class registration online at www.nbhsa.org.
- Agree to pay: (1) Monthly tuition for classes. Full monthly tuition is due regardless of student’s attendance. If a teacher is absent, credit will be given at the end of the semester. (2) Any materials/lab fees per class or co-op, which are not part of the class tuition.
- Agree to secure own textbooks, required books, and supplies necessary for the student’s success in the class.
- Agree to donate: (1) $3 per child per month with a maximum of $10 per family for First Baptist Church of Mims to offset costs of building usage, janitorial services, and utility expenses, and (2) $5 per family per semester to offset NBHSA supplies.
- Understand that class size is limited. Priority for registration for this year is first to returning Tuesday School students and then open registration will begin. When classes are filled, students will be a placed on a waiting list as requested by the parent.
- Understand that a teacher has the right to decide whether the student will be able to participate in a class.
Rules
1Typically, classes are held at First Baptist Church of Mims. Classes may also be held at nearby facilities. We want to avoid causing any disturbances or disruptions to the church staff as they carry out the normal business and ministries of the church. Please respect all church property. We will use the courtyard entrances to the annex and main building. Do not touch any instruments or equipment in the facility. Do not contact the facility with any issues or questions regarding Tuesday school.
2Students are expected to take an active part in keeping up with homework assignments. Parents are expected to supervise homework at home to ensure daily progress.
3Students are expected to attend classes regularly. If a student must miss class due to illness or a family trip, he is expected to contact the teacher and make up any reading assignments or homework that was missed before returning to class. Full tuition is required regardless of attendance. If a teacher is absent, the student will be credited for the class at the end of the semester.
4Students on breaks between classes must study quietly in the study hall or socialize peacefully in the designated areas. Specific rules for these areas will be posted and enforced. Students are not allowed to roam the halls. Students who are disturbing others will be corrected.
5Students must maintain a respectful, courteous attitude toward parents, teachers, church staff, and fellow students at all times. There is to be no physical fighting, yelling, destructive behavior, smoking, or defacing of church property. No violent, obscene, or profane speech or gestures are allowed at any time. Students may not bring magazines, books, or trading cards with violent, profane, immoral, or gruesome themes to the co-op. No alcoholic beverages, cigarettes, weapons, or illegal drugs of any kind may be brought onto church property. Any student who violates these rules will be automatically expelled from the Tuesday School. Parents are responsible for their child’s behavior.
6Parents must supervise students’ siblings at all times. There is no baby-sitting service for younger siblings. Students may not invite friends to "visit" their classes or meet them on church property. Only students who are enrolled in the Tuesday School may attend classes.
7All food and drinks will be limited to the designated eating areas. Students may have lunch outside if they stay on church property. Instructors may eat in their classroom.
8Students must dispose of trash properly and take all personal items home each week. Students are expected to assist if occasionally asked to help set up chairs, move a table, or help an instructor carry items from one room to another. Students are also expected to assist in cleaning up after labs and any other activities that create a mess.
9There is no skateboarding, rollerblading, etc. allowed at any time.
10No live animals may be brought to Tuesday School.
11Students may wear casual clothing (i.e., jeans, shorts, T -shirts, etc.) but must take care to avoid immodest clothing. Girls are not permitted to wear see-through clothing, strapless tops, halter-tops, or bare midriff tops. (Tops must be long enough to tuck into bottoms.) Students’ pants/shorts/etc. must be worn so that undergarments do not show. Students may not wear clothing that depicts violent, profane, immoral, or gruesome words or pictures.
12Students who drive to Tuesday School must enter church property through the proper entrance as indicated by the signs and drive slowly and cautiously while driving on church property. Students will not be allowed to play loud music from car radios or other sound equipment while driving on church property or while parked on church property. Any student who abuses their driving privileges on church property will not be allowed to drive to Tuesday School and will have to make other arrangements for transportation.
13Older students who drive to Tuesday School may not take other students away from the co-op during lunch or any other time without the express permission of both parents. It is the parents’ responsibility to discuss this issue with their children, to grant or deny permission appropriately, and to enforce their decisions. Parents are legally and morally responsible for the actions of their minor children who drive.
14Non-driving students may not leave the church property while Tuesday School is in session unless accompanied by a parent or teacher.
Thank you all for your cooperation and support!
