School Handbook

The school board and teacher should review the school handbook each spring. The handbook communicates the school’s mission, standards, and policies. Its appearance should be professional and attractive. Many times there are professionals in your church or school family with expertise in the areas of graphic design that can be a valuable resource to your school. The local conference office of education may be able to provide samples of handbooks.

The handbook includes information such as:

• School mission statement
• NAD non-discrimination statement
• Policies
  • Entrance
  • Discipline
  • Bullying
  • Sexual harassment
  • Finance
  • Dress code
  • Attendance
• Emergency communication procedures
• School board, faculty, and staff members
• School history
