Junior High Academic Contracts 2009-2010
This contract is for all Junior High students at The Academy. The items listed below are expected of all students
whether signed by parents/guardians or not. If the below are not adhered to, a personal academic contract for the
individual student will be created and issued for the student.
There are three parties involved in the education of each child: the school, the student, and the parent/guardian. This
academic contract is designed to detail what the three parties at The Academy are responsible for during the academic
year. The signed Academic Contracts will remain on file for the school year to reinforce that parents and students have
read and understand the items mentioned below.
