Parental Requirements

Home / Parental Requirements

When a family enrolls in Crossroads, the parents agree to several requirements as a result of that enrollment. It is understood that parents in a family will be a man and a woman, who are legally married to each other. Single-parent families will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

1. CRCS has a 170-day school year. Parents must keep daily attendance records.

2. Parents must keep daily records of subject matter covered. First-year homeschool parents with CRCS must turn in copies of these daily lesson plans with their quarterly evaluations. Your lesson plans are the legal document that education has occurred. There is a printable form on our website under the records tab or you can use your own.

3. Parents must submit grades and attendance quarterly online at crossroadschristian.us. The forms are listed under the Records tab.

4. At least one parent must attend each quarterly faculty meetings.

5. Each family must pay $40 per month tuition, June through May. The tuition is due on the 15th of each month and can be paid by received invoice, mailed or delivered to the CRCS office.

6. Each Crossroads family should receive a monthly e-mail reminder through QuickBooks, with a link to pay directly from your bank. We do not take credit cards. Failure to pay two consecutive months tuition will result in the family being placed on probation. Failure to pay three consecutive months tuition will result in disqualification from CRCS. In the event of a financial crisis, please contact the administrator or a member of the CRCS board. No records will be relinquished and no diplomas will be given if there is any outstanding financial obligation.

7. All new students must have a transcript from their former school, not just grades. If you have used the private school law to legally homeschool, you must create your student’s transcript; you are a private school. This transcript will be attached to the CRCS transcript and will follow them. If a new family has a 16 year old (or older) who is transferring in from another home school or if they have been using the private school law to homeschool, they must provide a copy of the student’s transcript prior to or at the personal interview. (The transcript can be official or unofficial.) If your church school or private school does not provide transcripts, it is the parents’ responsibility to do this.

8. Membership in Home School Legal Defense Association is encouraged. CRCS has a group membership with HSLDA which allows our families to join at a discounted rate. Our group membership number is 292295.

9. If your family circumstances make it necessary that the primary teacher be employed full time outside the home, you are obligated to inform the CRCS board and make arrangements for your child(ren)’s education.

10. The parent/teacher must subscribe to the statement of Doctrinal Beliefs (back cover), have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and be a member in good standing of an evangelical church. Enrollment in Crossroads requires that your pastor verify yearly that you are an active member.

11. Parents are responsible to instruct their children in the school subjects, but are free to choose the curriculum best suited for their child’s needs. Enrollment in a virtual public school is not homeschooling; a family cannot be enrolled in both a virtual public school and Crossroads. Ultimately, parents are responsible to God for the job they do educating their children.

12. Both parents and students are expected to agree with the policies and procedures outlined in this handbook; students and parents must abide by the dress, grooming, and behavior standards at all school events (pages 13-15).

13. If a family moves to a different school district during the time of enrollment with CRCS, the parents must complete a Church School Enrollment Form and submit it to the new school district office.

14. Returning families shall re-register online by June 15 each year. Proof of continued church membership is part of the re-registration process. All records and tuition must be up to date before a family may re-register.

15. A copy of the Crossroads by-laws is available in the school office. Board meetings are scheduled quarterly and are open for anyone who wants to attend. Contact office for dates.

16. In compliance with Community Presbyterian Church’s child protection policy, all faculty who have direct involvement with leading groups of students, other than their own, must have a current background check each year. (clubs, plays, choirs, co-op classes etc.) The cost is $10.
