Student Handbook for LifeCrest Learning


1. Commitment to the Lord

  • Commitment to Faith: Parents acknowledge this organization's commitment to biblical principles in teaching and student life. While we come from many different denominations, we agree with the foundational beliefs found in our FAITH STATEMENT.

  • Support of Christian Values: Parents agree to support the integration of Christian values in their child’s education, both in school and at home.

  • Church Attendance: We encourage families to be actively involved in a local Christian church.

2. Academic Expectations

We strive for excellence in education and encourage all students to reach their full academic potential.

  • Academic Excellence:  A minimum grade average of 70% in each class is required by the end of each semester. Any violation of this policy will result in permanent dismissal (with no refund of fees).  Teachers will notify parents of any missing work and/or extra credit, if available, to help students if needed.

  • Support for Learning: LifeCrest instructors will assign work for students to complete during the week. Parents will support their child’s academic efforts by helping with homework, ensuring timely completion of assignments, and fostering an attitude of responsibility. Parents agree to stay advised on their students performance/grades via their students’ Canvas accounts. Repeated late or missed assignments may affect a student's enrollment in subsequent classes.

  • Communication: Parents agree to maintain open communication with teachers and school staff regarding their child’s academic progress, check emails from LifeCrest, and respond to communications from administrators or instructors in a timely manner. Students are encouraged to email teachers directly with questions or concerns regarding assignments. Parents will keep LifeCrest updated in writing on any email, address, phone, or medical changes promptly.

  • Attendance and Punctuality: Parents agree to ensure that their child arrives at school on time and maintains good attendance. If absence is necessary, parents will notify the administrators and instructors in advance. Students are expected to continue with their lessons and consult their Canvas account for information on new assignments. Instructors may email you with further instructions.  Five (5) or more absences during the semester, may affect a student's enrollment in subsequent classes.

3. Student Code of Conduct

We aim to foster a respectful, kind, and disciplined environment in accordance with biblical teachings.  I agree to uphold the school’s code of conduct, which includes:

  • Respect:  

    • I will show respect to teachers, LifeCrest staff, fellow students, and property. 

    • I will be respectful, accepting, and encouraging of others (I will not intentionally embarrass, humiliate, or hurt the self-esteem of another person).

    • In addition to the goal of academic excellence, I understand that my purpose in attending classes at LifeCrest includes glorifying God, honoring my parents, encouraging others, and having fun.

  • Behavior:

    • I will guard my tongue and be careful not to curse or misuse God’s name.

    • I will refrain from any illegal, immoral, or unhealthy activity while at LifeCrest or LifeCrest sponsored activities.

    • I will follow the instructions of the teachers, administrators, LifeCrest Staff, and parent volunteers, realizing that they are responsible for my safety and the safety of the group.

    • I will do my part in helping keep the facility clean and will pick up after myself..

    • I will refrain from aggressive physical contact with other students. I will not make threatening comments or gestures towards others. 

  • Phone and Devices: I understand cell phones, tablets, laptops and other devices are not allowed to be used in classrooms unless specified by the teacher. 

  • Class Participation:

    • I agree to attend and actively participate in class and to complete assignments in a timely manner to the best of my ability.

    • I will check my email and Google Classroom accounts regularly to keep up with my assignments.

    • I will not use earbuds or headphones in any class except study hall or lunch.

    • I will communicate with my instructors when I will be absent or my absence will be considered unexcused. Unexcused absences can result in dismissal.

  • Sign-in/out: I agree to sign in upon arrival and to sign out when leaving the facility. I understand I am expected to sign-out even if returning later in the day for another class. I understand that I am not permitted to leave the LifeCrest campus during class time, study hall, or between classes.

  • Parking Lot: I will not hang out for an extended period of time in the parking lot with friends between 8 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., and no one who is not a LifeCrest member is allowed to spend time in the parking lot socializing (ie. friends who drive me to class) beyond the time required to drop off and pick up.

  • Student Drivers: If I drive to LifeCrest classes, I will drive cautiously in the parking lot, or I may lose the privilege of driving myself and others to classes.

Any violations of this Code of Conduct or other rules set out by teachers or other adults in charge may result in:

  • Temporary dismissal for the day

  • Dismissal for the remainder of the semester (with no refund of fees)

  • Permanent dismissal

  • Being required to pay the costs of any repairs necessary due to damage to property

  • Being required to apologize in person and/or in writing for violations

  • Meeting and discussion with administrator or board member.
