Policies

Nondiscriminatory Policy

Cedar Road Christian Academy seeks to serve everyone in our community, regardless of race, culture, sex, or national origin.

Policy for Reporting Suspected Child Abuse/Neglect

We will follow and abide by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia concerning suspected child abuse. We are mandated reporters of child abuse and reserve the right to file a report, if necessary.

Attendance

Attendance is critical in the elementary school program. Classes being promptly at 8:00 am and end at 3:00 pm. Three late arrivals will be the equivalent of one day's absence and will be calculated at the end of the school year when total days absent are compiled. Children who are absent for 30 days (15 per semester) during the year will not be promoted. The administrator will consider extended illnesses on an individual basis. The Academy will accept only excused absences with a doctor's note.

Illness

Any child who presents symptoms of cold, flu, fever, or lethargy should be kept home for at least 24 hours after symptoms have subsided with proper medication. Children with contagious illnesses (i.e., chicken pox, strep throat, and measles) are subject to a doctor's release before being readmitted to school or day care.

Toys

No toys are allowed unless requested by the teacher for special days (e.g., Show and Tell).

Discipline
