STATEMENT OF COOPERATION
It is my intention to have my child complete the school year at Northside unless otherwise indicated.
It is my intention to pay fees when due and to pay tuition according to the terms of my Financial Agreement. Report cards and
transcripts are not released if the account is past due. I understand that if my account becomes 30 days in arrears, my children will
be placed on financial probation; at 45 days, financial suspension.
My child has permission to participate in all school activities, such as field trips, fine arts competition, and athletics.
I have read pertinent sections of the Parent and Student Handbook and am in agreement with its contents, especially the “Goals
in Christian Education” reproduced on the attached sheet. I pledge to encourage my child in his homework and other special
projects, as well in the application of Bible principles to his life and learning. I will help my student attend church regularly.
For students in 7-12, commitment to attend church regularly on at least a weekly basis is an enrollment requirement.
If I have a question regarding a classroom issue, I will speak first to the teacher, then to the administration, rather than to other
parents. If I have a question regarding a matter of policy, I will approach the administrator. If I cannot continue to support
Northside, I will withdraw my child without seeking to undermine or discredit the ministry or its personnel.
For students in grades K3-4, I grant the school permission to administer appropriate discipline in order to maintain an orderly
atmosphere conducive to learning. Paddlings may be used, always with prior warning and administrative contact. Parents may
come to the school to administer the paddling, if they prefer to do so. All paddlings are recorded with the offense, date, time, and
adult witness(es). In 5-12 we utilize a demerit system and student evaluations to keep parents informed of student conduct issues.
I will inform the office of any changes in the following: address, personal phone numbers (home, cell phone, pager, beeper, or
employer), persons (with phone numbers) authorized to pick up my children, other emergency numbers, medical information, and
the custodial status of my children. If appropriate, I will provide a signed, updated Statement of Cooperation.
