Learning Labs Policies & Procedures

Spring 2026

Fees

The cost for Learning Labs is tiered per student per semester: $75 for the first child and $65 for each additional sibling. This tuition covers participation in 8 drop-off Wednesdays and includes general supplies and facility use. There are no additional class fees.
All fees are due in full at the time of acceptance to hold your child’s spot.
Refunds may be issued only if the vacated spot is filled by another student. No refunds will be issued after the semester has officially begun.
Boundless Learning Labs is a drop-off friendly program. We kindly ask that younger siblings not be in attendance, as to keep distractions at a minimum.

Right to Refusal of Continued Enrollment

Boundless Learning Labs reserve the right to discontinue a family’s enrollment for any reason deemed necessary by the leadership team. Refunds for unused tuition will be issued at the discretion of the board.
Students who are unable to participate appropriately in the Learning Lab environment due to ongoing behavioral challenges, academic readiness concerns, or frequent disruptions may be asked to have a parent remain on-site for supervision and support.
If the issues continue despite parental presence and reasonable support measures, the student may be removed from the program.
These decisions will be made at the discretion of the leadership team and are not eligible for a refund.

Calendar

Boundless Learning Labs meets for 8 Wednesdays during the semester. The full semester calendar, including meeting dates and breaks, will be provided prior to the start of the term.
In the event of inclement weather or other unexpected cancellations, we will communicate promptly and may use a scheduled make-up day if necessary. If no make-up day is possible, we appreciate your understanding that refunds will not be issued for missed days beyond our control.

Homeschooling Community Policy

Boundless Learning Labs is designed specifically for families who homeschool full-time, including those using online or parent-directed curriculum at home. Enrollment is limited to students who are not enrolled in traditional public, private, or charter schools.
This policy helps us maintain a consistent educational environment and community vision centered around homeschooling.

Statement of Faith

Boundless Learning Labs is a Christian program grounded in a biblical worldview. While we do not require families to affirm our Statement of Faith, we want to be clear that all instruction and group content will be presented from a faith-filled, Christ-centered perspective. By participating in Learning Labs, you acknowledge this foundation and agree to respect it.
While there are truths other than these that are taught in the Bible (and all Scripture is equally important), this brief Statement of Faith delineates truths that are the biblical basis for our Association.
- The Bible alone is the inspired and infallible Word of God and constitutes completed and final revelation. The Bible is without error in whole or in part, including theological concepts as well as geographical and historical details. (II Tim 3:16; II Peter 1:20-21).
- In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth, and everything that God created was good. Yet, his perfect creation was marred by sin. Through Adam’s sin, death and decay entered this world. (Gen. 1:1, 31; Gen. 2:16-17; Gen. 3:6-10,23; Rom. 8:20-21; Rom 5:12).
- Every man, by their inherent nature and actions, falls short of God’s righteous standards and His holy nature, resulting in being subject to His wrath and rightful condemnation. However, due to God’s boundless love and mercy, He sent His Son to endure the punishment for our sins. The primary objective of Jesus Christ’s arrival was to provide redemption for sins by sacrificially dying on the cross, and His triumphant resurrection serves as undeniable proof of the fulfillment of this mission (Rom. 5:6-8; Eph. 2:1, 4-5; II Cor. 5:21; Rom3:25-26; I Cor. 15:3-6).
- We believe that gender is a fixed attribute established by God, who created humanity in His image, both male and female. We affirm that marriage, as defined by God, is a sacred covenant between one woman and one man, designed to reflect the divine union between Christ and His church. (Gen. 1:27; Gen. 2:24; Matt. 19:4-6).
- Salvation is offered as a gift of God brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose substitutionary death on the cross paid the penalty for man’s sin. (Rom. 6:23; John 3:16; Eph. 2:8; Rom. 3:21-24; Rom 10:9).
- We believe that children are given by God as stewardship to the parent and that parents have the God-given authority and ability to teach and educate their own children or delegate that to others as the parents deem best. (Psalms 127:3, Eph. 6:4, Deut. 6:6- 7, Prov 4:1, Prov 1:8, Prov 6:20-23, Galatians 4:2).

Communications Policy

Board members can be reached via email at learninglabs@boundless-grace.org or through a Learning Labs GroupMe thread.

Any discussion or complaint regarding Labs related matters must include at least two board members to ensure transparency and accountability.
Leadership will communicate with members through email or GroupMe.
Photos of other students must not be shared online without explicit permission from their parents, as some families prefer to keep their children's images private.

Absenteeism

Learning Labs meets only one day per week for 8 weeks each semester. Regular attendance is essential to gain the full benefit of the program.
Families are expected to prioritize Learning Labs as part of their child’s education and plan accordingly.
Please notify leadership in advance via GroupMe or email if your child will be absent or late.
If an absence is unavoidable, notify us as soon as possible on the day of absence.
Excessive absences (more than 3 per semester) or frequent tardiness may affect your child’s eligibility to continue enrollment in future semesters.
We understand that illness and emergencies happen; exceptions will be made on a case-by-case basis.
We do not offer make-up sessions for missed days, so consistent attendance is encouraged.
Absences due to unforeseen closures (e.g., weather) will be handled with scheduled make-up days or calendar adjustments.

Late Pick-up Policy

All students must be picked up promptly at the end of Learning Labs. We allow a 5-minute grace period following the scheduled dismissal time.
After the grace period, a late fee of $1 per minute per child will be charged. This fee must be paid before your child attends the next session.
Repeated late pick-ups may result in a conversation with leadership and could affect your family’s ability to continue in the program.
Thank you for respecting the time and responsibilities of our volunteers and staff.

Cell Phone Policy

Students may bring cell phones but must keep them silent and out of sight during all Learning Labs sessions.
Phones should not be used for texting, games, or calls during class time.
If a phone becomes a distraction, the teacher or staff may confiscate it for the remainder of the day.
Repeated issues with phone distractions will result in the leadership contacting the parents for support.
Parents may use their phones as needed, but should model appropriate phone etiquette during drop-off and pick-up times.

Illness & Medical Issues

To protect the health and safety of all participants, please keep children home if they show signs of contagious illness. Students should not attend Learning Labs if they have had any of the following within the past 24 hours:
- Fever of 100°F or higher
- Vomiting or diarrhea
- Contagious rashes or infections (e.g., pink eye, lice, flu, COVID)
- Excessive coughing or generally feeling unwell

Only adults will deal with bodily fluids and gloves will be used when doing so. First aid kits are available.
All open wounds must be covered.
No medicine will be administered by anyone other than a parent.
If a student becomes ill during the day, a parent or emergency contact will be called for pickup. If the child is under age 10 and has a parent on-site, they may be asked to stay with the parent for the remainder of the session.

We appreciate your cooperation in keeping Learning Labs a healthy environment for everyone.

Dress Code

Casual dress is acceptable for both teachers and students as long as it is within the following guidelines.
Everyone should dress in such a way as to be a positive representation of the program and the facilities that we use.
Clothing should not reveal undergarments, intimate body parts, or be excessively tight, sheer, or low-cut. Clothing should adequately support and cover the body to maintain a standard of modesty consistent with our community values and to avoid unnecessary exposure or distractions.
Do not wear clothing with foul language, or inappropriate sayings or pictures.
We fully support and encourage nursing moms and welcome them to do so on campus! We also recognize that there are many curious children and teens in our community, so in line with our value of modesty and creating a comfortable environment for all, we kindly ask nursing moms to use a cover or private space whenever possible. Please just use discretion.
Board members have the final say on what is considered inappropriate, and may ask you to change or leave for the day if deemed unacceptable.

Safety & Security

Background Checks

For the safety and security of all children and families at Learning Labs, any adult (18 years old and older) who will be regularly on campus during class days is required to undergo a background check. This includes parents and helpers who will be present regularly during lab sessions.
The background check process helps ensure a safe environment for all our children and upholds the integrity of our community.
Occasional visitors who will not be on campus regularly are not required to complete a background check.
Background checks will be required once every five years. If your background check is older than five years, you will need to renew it to continue having regular access to Learning Labs.

General Safety

All students must be signed in and signed out each day by a parent or guardian. This ensures we know exactly who is on-site at all times.
A designated check-in table will be available, and parents must walk students into the building to complete the sign-in process. The same applies at pick-up.
Students who are of driving age may drive themselves to and from Learning Labs only with a completed Student Driver Permission Form signed by a parent or guardian. These students must sign themselves in and out each day. Student drivers may not leave campus early or during class hours without prior, express parental permission communicated directly to staff.
Each student will receive a name tag that must be worn throughout the day for identification and safety purposes.

Children should not be wandering the church grounds or inside hallways during class time. If a child is consistently found lingering, their parent may be required to stay on site.
Classroom supervision will require at least two adults present with children.
Persons who are 18 years old but enrolled as students do not count as an adult for supervision purposes.

Office and other classrooms will be off limits. Please make sure your children know these boundaries.

Building Conduct:

Running in the building is not permitted.
The use of Heelys, skateboards, or sports equipment indoors is not permitted.
Horseplay such as tackling, pushing, kicking, punching, and taking others’ belongings is not permitted. All friendly touch must be consensual.

Weapons Policy:

Weapons of any kind — including firearms, knives, or any other potentially harmful objects — are strictly prohibited on campus property.
Exception: Teachers may bring knives or tools needed for class projects but these items must be supervised carefully at all times.

Emergency Protocols

If Denison ISD closes schools due to extreme weather, Learning Labs will also be canceled. Announcements will be made as soon as possible. We will try to plan a make-up day.
In case of a tornado while on campus we will proceed to the closet at the back of the Fellowship Hall and/or the bathrooms in the hall.

In case of a fire, we should exit through the nearest safe exit.

Interpersonal Communication

Positive and respectful attitudes are expected in all interactions
Bullying will not be tolerated.
- Bullying is an ongoing and deliberate misuse of power in relationships through repeated verbal, physical, and/or social behavior that intends to cause physical, social, and/or psychological harm
Gossip will not be tolerated
- Gossip is idle talk or rumors, especially about the private or personal affairs of others
Class time conversations should be focused on the subject being taught. Teachers and helpers should go to the class ready to teach and help the students in the class topic.
- We ask that all children and adults refrain from engaging in or promoting discussions, jokes, or comments related to sensitive topics, including but not limited to drugs, sex, explicit language, and explicit references to body parts. It is essential that we maintain a space where all participants can feel comfortable and respected.
- We encourage open communication and age-appropriate discussions that promote a healthy learning environment. If any concerns or questions arise regarding this policy, please feel free to reach out to leadership for guidance and support.
PDA (public displays of affection) is not permitted on campus. Congratulatory displays such as handshakes, high-fives, hugs, and pats on the back are acceptable as long as these are consensual.
- Parents are the ruling matter when it comes to the topic of dating between students. If dating occurs, please remind them of the PDA rule.

Conflict Resolution

Direct Communication Encouraged
- Whenever possible, individuals are encouraged to address concerns directly and respectfully with each other in private.
Mediation by Leadership
- If direct communication does not resolve the issue or if the concern directly impacts the program, the involved parties should request mediation. Two members of leadership will facilitate the discussion to help both parties reach a resolution.
Leadership Board Review
- If mediation is unsuccessful, the concern will be brought to the full leadership board. The board will review the situation, speak with all involved parties, and decide on an appropriate resolution.
Final Decision
- The leadership board’s decision is final. If a resolution cannot be reached, the board may provide further guidance or determine whether continued participation in the program is feasible for all parties involved.

Curriculum

Boundless Learning Labs uses a unit study model, where all students engage in learning centered around a shared theme each semester. Activities may include hands-on experiments, projects, group discussions, games, and collaborative work.
Our lessons are designed by our leadership team and presented from a Christian worldview. Students are expected to come ready to participate, stay engaged, and treat peers and instructors with respect.

Classroom Readiness

Students enter class ready to hear what the teacher has planned for the day. Cell phones are put away, games/toys/cards and other items not related to the class also need to be put away.
Students need to have their backpacks with all supplies for the day. General supplies should be brought each week, including something to write and color with, scissors, and glue sticks.
We understand that some children, especially younger ones, may occasionally need extra support. Our goal is to encourage students to stay engaged in their assigned classes as much as possible, while still providing grace when needed.

Service Policy

Boundless Learning Labs values shared responsibility and respect for the space we use. At the end of each day, older students will help wipe down tables, straighten the area, and assist with general clean-up tasks under adult supervision.
We believe this encourages teamwork, ownership, and responsibility. Parents may also be asked to assist with occasional clean-up or set-up needs.
Everyone working together helps maintain a smooth, positive environment for the entire Learning Labs community.

Discipline Policy

Following the guidelines set forth in this document are required, and failure to do so can lead to the removal of the student/family from future enrollment.
Any student who writes on or otherwise defaces walls or tables, breaks church property, etc., will be required to replace or repair said item.
If a discipline issue arises in class, the parents will be notified asap, and may be asked to remain on-site for supervision and support.
- If the same child continues to have discipline issues, we will schedule teacher/parent/leadership conferences. If this does not help, the family may not be able to re enroll in the following semester. This is up to the board discretion.

Policy Updates Clause

Leadership reserves the right to update policies as needed to ensure the program runs effectively and safely. Families will receive express notice of any policy updates.
- Updates are most likely to occur between semesters, but in urgent cases, mid-semester changes may be made.

If, after thorough investigation by the board, any member - child or adult - is found to disregard the rules, guidelines, and policies set forth in this document the following steps will be taken:

1st offense: 1st warning, can be in the form of a face-to-face, text, or group message
2nd offense: Written warning, email that requires a response, or typed letter requiring a signature
3rd offense: Suspended for the following week.
4th offense: Asked to not return, and not allowed to register for the following semester.

* All disciplinary action will be by board discretion and all decisions made by the board are final.

* If an offense is deemed a safety concern, immediate removal from he campus may occur
