Miscellaneous Policies

Marital and Legal Relationship Status of Parents

Parents who are divorced and families that go through a divorce while their student is enrolled at FRCS must supply the school with copies of rulings in the divorce documents that may affect the school situation of the student. If changes are made to these legal documents, copies of these changes or updates must be given to the school. Until that point, FRCS operates at the discretion of the most recent documents in the school’s files. This includes, but is not limited to, references to parenting time and decision making, especially in regard to school and education. Other documents or court orders that might impact your child at school should also be shared with FRCS (e.g., restraining orders). Please note that in some instances photographs may be helpful to office personnel in identifying other parties. Copies of such documents must be submitted to the school in a timely manner.

Child Abuse/Neglect

Faculty, staff, administrators, and school volunteers are considered mandated reporters by Colorado Law, and as such must report abuse or suspected abuse. Failure to do so can result in criminal and civil litigation. People who report in good faith cannot be prosecuted, even if the report is determined to be unfounded. All reports are assumed, for purposes of the law, to be done in “good faith.”

Requests to Review Records

FRCS complies with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Parents and eligible students have the right to inspect and review their education records. Requests to review records must be made in writing. The school will set up an appointment within two weeks of receiving the request. Original documents and records must be reviewed in the presence of an office staff member. If, for reasons such as great distance or court order, it is impossible for parents to come in person, copies will be made and mailed within two weeks of receipt of the records request. Copies will not be released if tuition, fines, or fees are due.

Anti-Discrimination

Front Range Christian School does not discriminate against students of any race, color, or national or ethnic origin and entitles all students to the same rights, privileges, programs, and activities made generally available to other students at the school.

Bible Version for Classroom Use

The use of Scripture in the classroom is an important, integral part of the education process at FRCS. There are several Bible translations that are widely accepted by evangelical scholars as quality works for study. However, to avoid confusion in the classroom, FRCS has selected both the New International Version (NIV) and the New American Standard Bible (NASB) unless otherwise stipulated. Students without an NIV or NASB Bible will be asked to secure one for classroom use.

Chapel

Chapel services are in integral part of learning at FRCS and are held weekly. There will also be special chapel services planned throughout the year. Chapel services are under the direction of the Principal (elementary) and the Director of Discipleship (junior and senior high). All students are required to attend. Parents are welcome and encouraged to attend any chapel service.
