9. Parent Agreement
Surprise Schole Academy

I certify that I am only registering children for whom I am the legal guardian.

*By signing this contract and submitting my non-refundable registration fee, I recognize that I am registering for a year- long commitment. If I withdraw before the end of the academic year, I realize I am creating additional work for others and that my actions may negatively impact the learning of students in the co-op.

*I agree to pay the full year fees by the agreed upon date(s) to hold space for my family in the community. By failing to pay by the agreed upon date, I acknowledge that classroom space may be released to other families and that the Surprise Schole Academy reserves the right to release this space based upon my nonpayment of fees.

*My spouse and I will read the entire SSA Handbook found on the SSA website and will discuss it with our children. I will read the Student Contract as well and be aware of what is expected of my students. I will willingly abide by all policies and rules.

*I understand and agree that one parent must remain on the premises the entire time and be responsible for my children regardless of their age whenever they are participating in co-op and co-op activities unless I have made prior arrangements with the governing board and signed the proper temporary guardianship forms for my child(ren). I understand that if anyone in my family (including myself) violates the rules, it will jeopardize our participation in the co-op and that SSA reserves the right to deny participation to any student or family.

*I have read, understand and agree with the Statement of Faith and Statement of Principles.

*I will refrain from any gossip, unwholesome talk, or unwholesome behavior both during and outside of Academy Day.

*I understand that SSA does not give legal protection or legal assistance. SSA is not obligated to testify regarding my homeschool’s validity, authenticity, or effectiveness to legal authorities or in court.

*I agree that my children will strive to regularly attend Academy Day. They will arrive on time, fully participate in the class by completing any homework assignments, and engage with other students and the mentors during class time. (If you know you will be missing 5 or more Academy Days/mandatory meetings, we recommend you do not register your family this year.)

*I understand and agree that the SSA Board, mentors, and/or the host church will at no time be responsible for mishaps, injuries, or accidents that may occur during the year. We will read and sign the waiver of liability and submit the form before classes start this current year.

*I agree to pay for any item that my children or I damage or break at the host church,or in connection with any visiting speaker, guest, event, field trip or other SSA activity whether on or off of the CoL Church Campus.

*I understand and agree to fulfill my responsibilities (classroom mentoring/cleaning) as I volunteered for or was assigned by the SSA Board. If I am unable to attend one day, I will find a replacement for all of my assignments (mentoring, clean up, etc,), and I will contact the board and all those affected either by email or text as soon as possible.

*I understand that I may need to substitute or help during times other than my scheduled mentoring periods.

*I will remember that parents on the governing board are volunteers like me and are not being compensated for their time. I understand that their decisions are for the health and longevity of SSA as a whole, in support of the mission of Surprise Schole Academy and are prayerfully considered. (1 required) I agree to honor these commitments
