Intheprocessofstrivingforwholesome,matureChristianconduct,itisnecessaryforthe administrationtostipulateinthesignedStudent/ParentAgreementthattheparentsandstudents pledge to make every effort to comply withtherulesandpoliciesoftheschool. The Student/ParentAgreementspecificallystates:

I have read the PPCS Family Handbook with my child. We pledge to make every effort to comply with its information at all times. We understand the dress code and agree to follow the code at all times.

PPCS’s educational mission involves working with the home in the overall Christian education of students. On occasion this cooperation between school and home may become difficult. To avoid such situations, the school requires parents enrolling to affirmatively support and cooperate with the school.

As a parent:

I agree to support the school with my prayers and with a positive attitude. Complaints or negative comments will be shared only with the teacher, administrator, or person involved and not with my child or other people, following the Matthew 18 principle.

Pren Her, Min, an Fut 15

I understand that if at any time the school determines, in its sole discretion, that my actions do not support the ministry, or reflect a lack of cooperation and commitment to the home and school working together, the school has the right to request the withdrawal of my child(ren).

I understand the Christian nature of the education of PPCS. I am willing to respect my child’s decision should he/she accept Jesus Christ as his/her Lord and Savior through the teaching of the school, therefore choosing to embrace Christianity
