We are so thankful for your participation in this class/classes. In order to ensure the best possible learning environment for all the students we expect the following from you as participants:

-communicating to the teacher with questions about any class assignments.


Each parent will assist by

-engaging student with the information during the week and being actively involved in the assignments ensuring completion
-communicating directly with the teacher OUTSIDE of class time if there are questions, concerns, or input. Be aware some teachers are traveling to/from other classes.


We are thankful for the community of faithful Christian believers here in our area. We are striving to teach our subjects in an honoring way to a variety of denominations. We all agree to teach focusing on the “core” issues of our subject matter and deferring to families for individual teaching/differences on any issues which may be be related to your understanding of your denomination.


That being said our agreement of faith which we use as our “core” can be summed up in the Apostles Creed:
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again;
he ascended into heaven,
he is seated at the right hand of the Father,
and he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church, *The word "catholic" is intentionally left lowercase in the sense that the word catholic applies to the universal or worldwide Christian church.
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting.
