If the student has not been enrolled
in Crossroads for a year or more, they are considered a new student.
After Enrollment Is Submitted:
We will process all enrollment
packets in the order in which they were received (unless a special situation
warrants immediate action). Certain times of the year will cause a delay.
Those times are most frequently mid-June through September 1 and January
through end of February. On average it takes two weeks. However, it may
take as little as ten days or as long as four weeks.
After enrollment is completed,
student and teacher identification cards will be mailed. These cards
identify your child as a student of Crossroads Christian School. They also
identify the parent as a teacher of our school. When using these cards,
students and teachers are representatives of Crossroads Christian School.
We hope they do so responsibly.
For Florida residents, once we have
the packet in our office, your legal coverage begins. If we receive a call
verifying a child's enrollment, we will do so by searching unprocessed
enrollment packages if necessary. Keep our phone number handy until your
identification cards arrive. Even without the cards, your child is legally
covered.
If a Florida family has previously
been enrolled as homeschooler in their county, they will need to submit a
letter to the county terminating their homeschool program. The letter
should include the child(ren)'s legal name and date-of-birth. It is wise to
send the letter Certified with return receipt. This does not apply to those
who remain with the county for specific reasons.
Once all of this is finished, the
parent simply homeschools as they would normally. When ninety days of
school is complete, a semester report is then submitted to Crossroads. It
is that easy.
*FL residents only:
Are your student's immunization records up-to-date? Does CCS have a "blue
card" (FL DH-680) on file for your student? All
FL students are required to submit an up-to-date form DH-680 (or waiver
form DH-681) for their student(s), this is a requirement set forth
by the State of FL in regards to all public and private school students.
This form can be obtained at your local county health department (you may also inquire
at your pediatrician/physicians office). In order to assure that your
immunization record is complete and a current copy is in our files, CCS will
be mailing you a form (CCS IMMUNIZATION REQUIREMENTS CONFIRMATION FORM) (IRC
form) along with your 2008 CCS Welcome Letter and ID Cards. Please
note that ALL CCS Florida families should receive this form
upon 2008 registration. If you receive your Welcome Packet and it does not
contain the IRC form, please contact us immediately. If the IRC
form indicates that information is needed, you will be granted 30-days to
obtain the information and send it to our offices. NOTE:
Handwritten Immunization Waiver requests are no longer valid. The
State of FL requires form DH-681 which must be obtained from your local
county health department in order to be in compliance due to religious
convictions. ##Additional Reminder
- Students entering 7th grade need their "booster shots"/updated
immunizations in order to complete CCS enrollment for the 2008/2009 school
year
