1. ABSENCES
In
order to gain the most from school, your child must be in
regular attendance. We ask parents to contact the office by
phone to report any absence. The purpose of that policy is to
protect your child from being lost or abducted without any
knowledge of that until the end of the school day.
Excused
absences can only be allowed for illness, death in the family or
that of a close friend, a prearranged trip with cultural or
educational significance approved in advance by the principal,
or emergencies beyond the parent’s control. Upon returning to
school, the student must bring a signed note stating the date(s)
and reason for the absence.
If
a note is not submitted within three days the absence will be
"unexcused".
If
a child is absent thirty days during the school year, he/she may
be required to repeat the grade. That decision is subject to the
sole and complete discretion of the education committee on a
case by case basis, after a hearing with the parents/guardian.
If
a child is absent more than five consecutive days, a doctor’s
excuse is required.
If
a child needs to leave school early, send a note to the office
stating the time the child is to leave and the person to whom
the child is to be released.
(TOP)
2. ADMISSION
Application Forms: Secure forms for admission from the school
office. Complete the forms and return them to the office with
the application fee. No application will be processed without
application fees & book fees.
Testing: Applicants may be tested to properly inform the teacher
concerning the student's present academic status. At this time
an interview will be arranged for the parents and students to
meet with the principal. Clarification of the policies will be
discussed.
Acceptance: As soon as all the admission procedures have been
completed, notification of admission will be sent to the
parents.
(TOP)
3. AFTER-CARE
PROGRAM
Living
Faith Christian Academy
no longer offers an after school program.(TOP)
4. ARTICLES
PROHIBITED
Regulation:
All of the following articles are not permitted on school
property:
cigarettes
alcoholic
beverages
illegal
drugs or any narcotics
knives
guns
or explosives of any kind
toys or video games
electronic games
radios
/ tape players
inappropriate
magazines or inappropriate books or personal property
Reasoning:
The above items are not allowed for several reasons.
Obviously, some of the restricted items are illegal, dangerous
and threaten the safety of all. Other items are restricted
because of two primary reasons.
First,
we are a Christian school and we do maintain a moral stand
against such vices as alcohol, gambling, drugs, and worldly
amusements.
Second, we feel responsible for the damage and loss of costly items.
Even though there may be times during which a child could
entertain themselves (i.e. lunch, recess) we know that such
items can be damaged, lost, and even stolen.
(TOP)
5. CONTACTING TEACHERS
Parents
are requested to contact their child’s teacher either by
writing a note and having your child bring it to school, or
through the school office. If the teacher is not available at
the time of calling, the secretary will leave a message for that
teacher to call back. Parents must stop by the office and obtain
a visitor's pass before going to a classroom.
It
is recommended that any student in K-4 or K-5 have a note from
parent to teacher, safety pinned to shirt.
(TOP)
6.
DAILY NOTEBOOKS
Grades
1-6 will bring home a daily notebook containing homework. It is
the child's responsibility to do the homework assigned and the parent's
responsibility to review the homework. This signature confirms
that the student has completed the assignment.
If this is not signed, the child will lose their playtime
privileges.
Please
look for the Daily Notebook or papers each evening as it is a
vital communication link between teachers and parents, and
between the school and families.
Parents
are asked to look over the work with their child, praise them
for the good work, and encourage them to do better in an area,
which may need improvement.
All
classes (K-5 through 6th grade) will bring home tests
to be signed by the parents and returned with the student the
next school day. If
not signed and returned, the student will lose privileges or
receive other disciplinary action as deemed necessary by the
teacher.
(TOP)
7.
DISCIPLINE
Living
Faith Christian Academy will provide an atmosphere conducive to
the spiritual growth and academic development of all.
Regulation:
The following behaviors are reason for LFCA to exercise
appropriate disciplinary measures such as suspension or
dismissal. In the
event that corporal punishment is necessary, the parent will be
contacted to administer it.
1. Disrespect to teachers or fellow students
2. Disobedience to the faculty
3. Dishonesty
4. General disturbances of any kind such as talking out
without recognition, writing notes, interrupting the class,
running in the building
5. Cheating of any kind
6. Not completing assigned work
7. Destroying or defacing property of the school
8. Meddling in another student’s property
9. Fighting
10. Disorderly conduct
11. Smoking, drinking, drugs, narcotics, gambling
12. Physical and verbal abuse including pushing, kicking,
threatening, name calling, and any type of intimidation
Misconduct
will be handled by the individual teacher within the context of
their classroom.
Reasoning:
The primary principles behind our discipline policies are
fourfold:
1.)
All students must be provided with an atmosphere in which they
can learn. If the majority of students are hindered by another
student's behavior, that student will not be allowed to attend
LFCA.
2.)
Learning does not take place when a student refuses to stay on
task.
3.)
The clear line of authority will not be violated and the student
must recognize that the teacher is in charge of the class.
4.)
The Bible is clear regarding corporal punishment: Proverbs 22:15, Proverbs 13:24, Proverbs, 23:13-14, Proverbs
29:15, Proverbs 19:18, Proverbs 29:17.
(TOP)
8.
DISCIPLINE PROCESS
Regulation:
Misconduct will generally be handled by the individual teacher
within the context of their classroom.
However, when the infraction steps outside of what is
handled in the classroom, the school administrator will handle
the next level of discipline:
The
disciplinary philosophy of Living Faith Christian Academy
supports the teacher's right to teach and the student's right to
learn. Behavior which stops the teacher from teaching
and/or any student from learning will not be tolerated. We
recognize that maintaining effective discipline and safety in
the classroom, on campus, on the bus, and at school related
activities is the shared responsibility of parents, students and
school personnel.
The
assistance of parents is needed in the following ways:
1.
Review the discipline policies with your children to make sure
they understand them and the conditions set forth.
2.
Both parents and students must sign the policy agreement
(Separate Document)
Penalty/Demerit System
Teachers
will provide students and/or parents with a list of classroom
rules and regulations and the rewards or consequences which will
be used in their classroom.
A penalty or demerit system is in place to
monitor those instances when a student chooses to misbehave or
disregard rules. The system is divided into two broad
areas: responsibility offenses and character offenses.
Penalties will accumulate over a 9-weeks period and begin over
again with each new period. A note will be sent home to
inform the parents of any penalties accrued that day and the
total penalties the student has at that point. The note
should be signed and returned the next school day.
Upon the accumulation of 10 penalties/demerits within a
nine-week period, the consequences will be an after-school
detention. Additional after-school detentions will be
assigned upon every fifth penalty thereafter. Once a child
reaches 30+ penalties/demerits, the administrator will decide
the consequence (see below for ladder of discipline).
1 Penalty/Demerit - Responsibility Offenses
Communication without permission (verbal, non-verbal, notes,
etc.)
Disruptive behavior/bothering classmates
Out of seat without permission
Refusal to do work
Dress code violations after warnings
Homework offenses (written papers, papers requiring signatures,
Bible memorization, etc.)
Bad attitude (complaining, arguing, etc)
Not following directions
Disrespect to other students (name calling, making fun,
interrupting, etc)
Eating/chewing gum without permission
Not serving assigned detention
2 or More Penalties/Demerits - Character Offenses
Lying
Direct disobedience
Forging parent's signature
Inappropriate language
Inappropriate conduct
Disrespect
Cheating
Defacing/destroying property
Stealing
Violent or destructive behavior
CONSEQUENCES
10 penalties - One after school detention
15 penalties - One after school detention
20 penalties - One after school detention
25
penalties - One after school detention
30 penalties - One after school detention
30+ penalties - Administrator decides consequences

office, disciplinary action will be taken according to the

9.
DISMISSAL OF A
STUDENT
Regulation:
Reasons for dismissal:
1) Parents will not cooperate with the administration of
the school and promote, support, or follow its policies.
There are times when we ask the
parent(s) and/or a student
to speak to a committee of the school board to discuss a
discipline problem. If the members of that committee come to
realize that the parent(s) is not in support of the policies and
philosophy of LFCA and is unwilling to cooperate, at the sole
discretion of the Discipline Committee or Administration, the
parent(s) will be asked to seek another institution for the
education of his/her child and dismissed.
If a parent is requested to speak to the Discipline
Committee and refuses, their child is dismissed. If parents
cannot demonstrate support for the policies outlined in this
handbook, then in the sole judgment of the Discipline Committee
or the Administration, that student will be dismissed.
2) A child’s conduct, attitudes, or lack of effort are
contrary to the policies established.
There is no reason for a parent to pay for a private
Christian education if a student does not want that opportunity.
Usually, the result is disruption in the class, indifference to
the rules and regulations, and a waste of the family's
resources. Under such situations, at the sole discretion of the
Discipline Committee or Administration, the parent(s) will be
asked to seek another institution for the education of his/her
child and dismissed.
3) Any delinquency pertaining to the account such as
failure to keep one's account current.
Any and all children are subject to suspension and/or
dismissal if the account is over 30 days past due.

DISPENSING MEDICATIONS
If your
child requires medications to be given during the day you must
send a note giving permission so that we are aware that your
child has and is permitted by you to use said medication.
(TOP)
11.
DRESS CODE
In
I Thessalonians 5:22 we are instructed to "abstain from all
appearance of evil". This includes our dress. Our goal is
to have boys and girls dress in a God-honoring manner. The Bible
uses the term "modest" to describe such fashion.
Living Faith Christian Academy wants to see its boys and girls
grow up to be fine young men and ladies. The dress code is
written to help your children become gentlemen and ladies that
are pleasing to God. It will take your cooperation to promote
the type of atmosphere we desire to have at Living Faith
Christian Academy.
The
Christian is to have a regard for things that are
"pure...lovely...of good report...of virtue...and
praise" (Philippians 4:8). IN THIS REGARD PARENTS HAVE THE
PRIME RESPONSIBILITY IN TEACHING OUR STUDENTS TO LIVE BY THE
STANDARDS OF SCRIPTURE. Parents are responsible to send their
children to school with correct dress and grooming.
LFCA has adopted a uniform dress code
policy for students in Kindergarten through 6th grade. The dress
code as stated in this handbook will remain in effect .
In
kindergarten through the sixth grade, we require that students
wear a school uniform. The uniform consists of approved
items from a local school uniform provider. A copy of
school uniform information is available in the school office.
Boys:
1. FOOTWEAR:
Shoes and socks must be worn at all times. Loafers or lace up
dress shoes are acceptable. Sneakers may be worn with the
exception of chapel and academic programs.
2. HAIR: Hair
must be trimmed neatly on the sides and back to give a clean,
neat appearance. Hair cannot be below the middle of the ear,
eyebrow, or shirt collar. Fad haircuts are not allowed. No hair
coloring is permitted.
3.
FIELD TRIPS:
Dress for field trips and any special occasion will be
announced.
4.
JEWELRY: No
jewelry is to be worn around the neck or on the ears of any boy.
No tattoos are permitted.
5. PANTS: Khaki or blue pants
6. SHIRTS: White, blue, or yellow shirts with
a collar (button-up or polo)
Girls:
1. FOOTWEAR: Shoes
and socks must be worn at all times. Knee high socks, anklets,
or stockings are acceptable. Thongs or boots are prohibited.
Sneakers may be worn with the exception of chapel and academic
programs.
2. HAIR: Hair
must be maintained in a modest and appropriate manner. No makeup
of any kind is permitted. Extreme fashions are to be avoided.
No hair dye.
3. JEWELRY: No
gaudy costume jewelry is to be worn. (Webster’s definition of
gaudy: "too bright and gay to be in good taste; cheap and
showy"). Girls
are permitted to wear one earring in each ear.
4. PANTS: Khaki or blue pants, skirts, skorts,
or jumpers
5. SHIRTS:
White, blue, or yellow shirts with a collar (button-up or polo)
Obviously, we cannot define all new
fads of dress that are forbidden. The school administration has the final say in
matters of interpretation.
(TOP)
12.
EARLY BIRDS
No
children are to be left at the school earlier than 7:30 am.
There are no exceptions. This is for your child's safety. You
may wait with your child until 7:30 am, but no child may be left
unattended. Adult supervision will be provided at 7:30 a.m.
(TOP)
13.
FIELD TRIPS
Field
trips are an integral part of the academic program. The Kanawha
Valley area abounds in places of special educational interest.
Parental approval is required for each trip. When a trip has
been planned, a letter will be sent home with each child that
will notify parents of the exact place to be visited along with
a permission slip which must be signed by the parents and
returned. Information about the cost, dress code, etc. can be
found on the permission slip.
(TOP)
14.
GRADING SCALE
The
grading scale used by LFCA is established by the curriculum.
If any
students or parents have any questions about grades, please feel
free to contact the teacher and/or administrator for a
conference.
(TOP)
15.
HALL RULES
1.
There will be no running, fast walking, or skipping.
2.
There will be no horseplay or rowdiness.
3.
There will be no screaming. The teacher will determine if and
when the class will be permitted to talk. All talking is to be
in quiet conversational tones.
4.
While walking in the hallway, children are asked to hold hands
together in front of them.
This will lessen the "he touched me" problem.
(TOP)
16.
HEALTH INFORMATION
The
West Virginia State Law requires every student to be immunized
against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, measles, rubella
and mumps unless these immunizations are medically
contraindicated.
Proof
of immunizations must be turned in to the school office for all
students before acceptance will be approved. Students having the
first series of immunizations shall be admitted for sixty days
in order to allow them the time to have the required
immunizations completed. Failure to have the required
immunizations will result in dismissal from school.
A
note of permission from a parent or guardian must accompany the
medication stating what the medication is, the dosage, the time
of administration required, and the length of time the student
is to take it. This medication will be kept by the school staff
and is not to be in the student’s possession. LFCA staff is to
administer all medication.
The office will provide chewable or adult acetaminophen
if granted permission by the parent to administer.
In
the event a student is injured, parents or emergency persons
will be notified to provide transportation. If the condition is
considered serious or life threatening by the school staff, the
student will be taken by ambulance to CAMC Women's and
Children's Hospital, or CAMC Memorial Division if a trauma
exists, and parents will be notified to meet the child there. A
hospital emergency room cannot provide care for your child
unless it has parental permission to do so.
(TOP)
17. HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS
We
believe that homework is an integral part of the school program.
Teachers are at liberty to give homework to aid each student in
the advancement of his studies. Each teacher may assign homework
daily for the purpose of supplementing and reinforcing classroom
work. Teachers will make assignments to students as clear as
possible. It is the student’s responsibility to understand and
complete these assignments. An important part of a child’s
education is learning to complete class assignments, research
papers, and homework at the time prescribed.
No homework is assigned on Wednesday to encourage
attendance at the local church’s midweek prayer meeting. You
will receive homework information daily in your child's
notebook.
(TOP)
18. HONOR ROLL
There
will be an A and B Honor Roll to recognize students who have
achieved above average grades during a marking period.
The A Honor Roll is awarded to those students whose grade point
average is 3.50 or above. The B Honor Roll is awarded to
those students whose grade point average is between 3.00 and
3.49.

ILLNESSES
For
the welfare of your child and others in the school, children who
are sick must be kept at home.
Any student obviously ill or running a fever will be sent
home.
(TOP)
21. INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY
When
Kanawha County closes its school system due to bad weather
conditions, LFCA will do the same.
When
Kanawha County schools operate on a delay or dismiss early, LFCA
will do the same. All local television news channels and
West Virginia Radio affiliate stations will list LFCA for
closing and delays.
(TOP)
22.
LUNCH PROGRAM
There
will be a hot lunch program offered daily.
Hot lunch is $2.00 per day. If your child prefers a bag lunch, it must be "ready
to eat". Milk or juice may be purchased to supplement bag lunches.
(TOP)
23.
PARENT TEACHER
CONFERENCES
In
addition to the regularly scheduled parent-teacher
conferences, parent teacher conferences will be scheduled when
needed. Parents wishing additional conferences are encouraged to
contact their child’s teacher by making an appointment.
(TOP)
24.
PARENT TEACHER
RELATIONSHIPS
We,
as teachers, work with students in a different context than most
parents. When we make a decision on an assignment, we make it in
the best interest of the child. Therefore, we expect parents to
support us in our decisions. Matthew 18:15-18 states the
Biblical method for handling disagreements. If there is a point
of disagreement, please do not hinder the teacher’s
effectiveness by expressing your disagreement in front of the
student. First, you should discuss the problem with the teacher.
If you cannot resolve the difficulty there, then arrange a
conference with the principal. If your problem has not been
resolved after going through these channels, you must decide to
either submit to the decision or withdraw the student.
(TOP)
25.
PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Students
will have gym class three times each week. The students will
come to school dressed in their regular school attire and then
change into their gym shoes is necessary.
Physical
Education is taught to emphasize the importance of staying
physically fit. Instruction in Christian sportsmanship is also
given through organized team games.
(TOP)TOP)TOP)
26.
PROGRAM PARTICIPATION
The
student body as a whole, or in student groups, is called upon
during the school year to participate in special programs. The
experience gained by participating in these programs is a vital
part of their education. We believe that it is just as vital to
learn how to conduct oneself before an audience as a member of a
group as it is to learn how to conduct oneself in class.
(TOP)
27.
PROGRESS REPORTS
Progress
Reports are sent home in the middle of each of the four grading
periods to inform the parent of a student’s progress.
(TOP)
28.
REPORT CARDS
The
purpose of Report Cards is to inform parents and children of the
progress or lack of progress which is being made. Each child’s
ability, attitude, and application are taken into consideration
in grading. Report Cards will be sent out every nine weeks.
They must be signed by a parent and returned to the
teacher.
(TOP)
29.
RESPONSIBILITY FOR SCHOOL
WORK
The
student holds final responsibility for his schoolwork. School
work is defined as daily class assignments, homework, projects,
school papers that are to be signed by parents and returned to
school on time, makeup work, supplemental drill work, etc.
Living
Faith Christian Academy expects and requires a student to meet
his responsibilities for schoolwork. Repeated neglect of this
obligation will result in a student being dismissed from school.
We can do much for many students, but we can do nothing for a
child who fails to meet his responsibilities to do his
schoolwork.
If
a student is ill or finds the assignment too extensive to
complete at home, or cannot understand it, we expect four
conditions to be fulfilled by the student:
1. Do as much of the assignment as time allows or as much
as he does understand.
2. Have the parents verify with a note the reason for not
completing the assignment.
3. Tell the teacher before class begins and present the
note to the teacher.
4. Make up the missed assignment by the next school
day.
(TOP)
30.
SPECIAL EVENTS &
DRESS CODE
Special
events such as the Christmas and spring musicals require
students to adhere to the school dress code. This includes
students as participants as well as those coming to support
their classmates.
All
students involved in the programs must be on time. If your child
is unable to attend you must give prior notice in order for your
child to be excused from the program.
(TOP)
31.
ACHIEVEMENT TEST
RESULTS
One
of the best ways to compare schools is to examine the national
achievement test results. Since these tests are given to
students in public and private schools across the country, the
results are an excellent way of determining how well a school is
doing academically.
Students,
Kindergarten through 6th grade, at Living Faith Christian
Academy are given the Achievement Test in the spring of
each year. Historically, LFCA students have scored higher than
the national average.
(TOP)
32.
TARDINESS
All
classes from K-4 through 6th grade begin promptly at
8:00 a.m. Students
are expected to be ready to start their school day at that time,
which means that they have already purchased supplies, unpacked
their bags, hung their coats, stored their lunch box, and are in
their desk at 8:00 a.m.
Up
to three tardy mornings will be permitted within a grading
period of nine weeks. Each
group of three tardies beyond the three allowed will equal to
one day of unexcused absence and carry the penalty.
(See unexcused absences)
(TOP)
33. TUITION
During
the month of January the tuition rates will be published for the
upcoming school year. You
may pay monthly for ten months.
1. A
one-month full tuition payment and book fee is due by August 1st.
2. Payments
are to be made by the 15th of each month.
3. All accounts become
delinquent on the 30th day of the month for non-payment.
4. A $20.00 late penalty will be imposed on all delinquent
payments.
5.
After the last day of the month, students are subject to
suspension from school until the account is paid to date.
6.
If you enroll your child at LFCA you are indicating that
you understand that no school records will be released unless
accounts are current. This includes Report Cards, Progress
Reports, and information from student’s permanent files.
7. Parents should contact the administrator ahead of time
if there is going to be some payment difficulty.
8. If a check is returned for insufficient funds, the
parent will be charged $20.00.
9. The school will not accept responsibility for payments
lost or late when they are sent with a child.
Fees and Payments
1. Registration Fee:
$80.00 if paid by July 1st. $100.00 thereafter (nonrefundable).
This is due when the re-registration or application papers are
submitted.
2. Book Fee: Due
by August 15th. See
Fee sheet for further information.
3.
Tuition:
Chargeable until notification in writing or by phone of withdrawal.
(TOP)
34. WITHDRAWAL FROM SCHOOL
Withdrawals
from the school must go through the school office. All tuition charges continue until the withdrawal process is
completed. No Report Cards or any records will be released to
any student whose account is not current. When you enroll you
child to attend LFCA you agree to see that your account is
current at all times and that all charges are paid. You
understand by enrolling your child at LFCA that if you withdraw
your child from LFCA for any reason before the end of the
academic year in which he/she is enrolled, or it your child is
dismissed from LFCA for any disciplinary/academic reasons, you
forfeit one month's tuition, registration, and book fee. Then
your cost of tuition will be prorated based on the number of
days that your child has attended LFCA. . Withdrawal from LFCA
can occur from the date of a parent's enrollment in LFCA to
the last day of school for that enrolled academic year.
When
you enroll your child in LFCA, you are saying that you
understand that you must follow this procedure for withdrawal:
1. The parent must visit, write, or call the school
administrator.
2. The parent must, in writing, indicate desire and reason
for withdrawal.
3. The parent will be informed of the present financial
status of the account upon request and that will be prepared for
him/her.
4. No records will be given to the parents. They will be
forwarded only to the school of transfer upon request by the
