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.

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.

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.

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.

While we have always had a student code of conduct in our Parent Handbook, we would like to promote a healthy culture of belonging in our school by putting the responsibility for this code of conduct onto students as active community members. In age-appropriate language, our Grades 1-8 students will be signing a code of conduct consistent with the values of JKCS and in line with who God is calling us to be. Parents/Guardians will be asked to sign as witnesses for their children as we commit together to raise up our children in a safe and godly environment.
