JKCS Policy Documents

John Knox Christian School (JKCS) is committed to providing education and doing things in a Christian manner. This includes providing a quality facility and excellent services for everyone that visits our school, including people with disabilities.

This commitment means doing our best to provide access to all services to people with disabilities in a manner that respects their dignity and independence, and in a manner that allows them to benefit in a similar way as all other students, parents/guardians, our staff and the public, free from barriers and biases.

Accessibility Standards Policy

As bussing may be required for school trips, all JKCS families are required to read and sign this form.

In the continued concern for the safety of our students using our bus service, the following rules and procedures have been established and must be adhered to by all students of JKCS.

Bus Code of Conduct

John Knox Christian School is committed to providing a safe and welcoming school environment for all children and adults.

Every JKCS parent who volunteers with our students (including sports events and classroom field trips) must undergo Child Welfare Training. 

Everything parents need to complete in order to volunteer at JKCS can be found HERE.

Progressive discipline in our Christian school does not emphasize punishment, but rather focuses on restoration and self-discipline. Our Progressive Discipline Policy is a whole-school approach that utilizes a continuum of interventions, supports, and consequences to address inappropriate student behaviour, and to build upon strategies that promote positive behaviours. 

Progressive Discipline Policy

We believe in recognizing God-given gifts and talents. We do that on a regular basis in our chapel times, our class times, and through our special community events. The awards presented on graduation night are consistent with our Graduate Profile. 

Graduation Awards Policy

Safe transportation to school is paramount for all students, parents, and staff.

The decision to cancel bus transportation or maintain normal bus transportation operating procedures must balance the safety of all involved with the need to operate the school normally when it is deemed reasonably safe to travel.
