TARDY POLICY
Tardiness reflects poorly on the adult whose work habits allow it. Students must learn to overcome life patterns that would allow chronic lateness to become habitual. Tardiness to school or class is not allowed. Excessive morning tardiness results in a $5.00 fine per incident.

FUNDRAISING
Fundraising is a necessity in ALL private schools. All students and parents are expected to participate in all fundraising events.

PARENT INVOLVEMENT
Eagles’ Wings Christian Academy is a ministry and service to Christian families and their children. Therefore, parents and staff must work together as a team for each child’s academic, spiritual, and social success. Parents must oversee attendance, punctuality, and homework. We strive for open, frequent communication between parents and teachers. It is understood that parents will monitor the time and content of television, movie, music, and Internet choices made by the student. We do not expect students in our school to be allowed access to “R” rated movies, music with ungodly lyrics, and unfiltered Internet sites. The school further relies on parents to see that their child maintains an appropriate bedtime and routinely gets adequate sleep.

PARENT PARTICIPATION
Our Parent Council has set 20 hours Partnership Participation per year as the minimum participation requirement for each family. All parents either serve, in various capacities and according to their abilities, skills, and interests, or opt to fulfill their Partnership Participation by an additional payment of $10 per unserved hour. All Parent Participation Hours must be served by June 1st each year. Hours served after June 1 are credited to the coming school year.
