Policies

Upon entering Calvary Baptist School, each student and his family becomes identified with the school and the school is judged by the way each individual conducts himself. Students and their family members must reflect favorably on themselves and on the school at all times, including on and off campus activities, whether or not one is involved in a school function.

Calvary Baptist School insists that students and their families conduct themselves at school and at all school functions in a way befitting a school seeking to establish Christian standards of learning and living in the lives of its students. Individuals who are unable or unwilling to conduct themselves accordingly will be dismissed from the school. The proper school officials will make such a decision.

Non-Discriminatory Policy

Calvary Baptist School seeks to enroll well-rounded, academically motivated students without regard to race, religion, sex, and ethnic or national origin.

Homework And Test Scheduling

Homework, at Calvary Baptist School, is recognized as being necessary and a valuable aspect of education. Its purposes include review, remediation, and development of self-discipline and good study habits.

The School Calendar Year

The administration shall establish an annual school calendar which shall meet or exceed the requirement of the State of Louisiana for a school year of 175 school days. A calendar for the school year is provided to the parents and school faculty to note important dates.

The School Day

The classrooms are open from 8:30 A.M. to 3:30 P.M. Any student arriving early or staying late must report to the designated area for supervision. Before-school supervision is available at 7:00 A.M. and extended supervision is available beginning at 3:45 until 6:00 P.M. (refer to fee schedule for this service). The school is not responsible for students who are on the campus prior to 7:00 A.M.

PTL (Parent-Teacher League)

Each parent is considered a member of the PTL at the beginning of each school year. The organization meets once a month. Funds raised by the PTL go towards the purchase of school approved items, special needs, and items that support our faculty and staff. The PTL also provides volunteer assistance in our classrooms and at various school functions.

Family Involvement Hours

Each family will provide 10 (ten) Family Involvement Hours during each school year. Eight of these hours may be filled by attendance at the Parent-Teacher meetings that are held during the course of the school year. Each hour not completed will result in a charge of $20.00 per hour to the family account. See Statement of Cooperation on last page.

The preceding policies can be found in more detail in our student handbook. You may pick one up from the school office during our regular school hours.
