The Epiphany Honor Code

The honor code at The Epiphany School centers on four essentials values: responsibility, respect, service, and integrity. The value of responsibility challenges students to develop their God-given gifts. They take initiative to maintain and enhance their school environment. Respect reminds students to listen to and value different people and their opinions. They practice “the golden rule”—do unto others as you would have them do unto you. The value of service compels students to utilize their God-given gifts in the service of others. Finally, integrity challenges students to be true to themselves and their beliefs. They do the right thing even when they may be afraid or uncertain. We believe that young people who embrace these four values will advance in their journey toward a faithful and fulfilling adult life.

Community Service

We believe that our shared faith compels us to serve our neighbors, to demonstrate our love of God by loving others. As the year progresses, students will have the opportunity to complete community service projects. Expectations regarding service requirements will vary across grades and will be discussed in class meetings. Opportunities include the Crop Walk, Relay for Life, Special Olympics, and RCS Food Drive/Soup Kitchen. Questions about or suggestions for service experiences should be directed to the Dean of Student Life.

Inclement Weather

When it is necessary to close school, delay opening, or release early because of weather or hazardous conditions, announcements will be made on the three primary television channels in our region. This information will also be available on the school’s website and on the school’s automated message. We will not necessarily adhere to the decision of the local school districts.

Dining on Campus

Students may bring a bag lunch to school daily. Meals will also be available for purchase through an outside catering company. Payments will be made in advance. A la carte items are also available for purchase. Order is DUE at noon Friday before the month begins.

Traffic

Parents and other authorized drivers dropping off and picking students up at the school are urged to use extreme caution. Speeds should never exceed 10 mph. Traffic guidelines have been established to ensure the safety of our community. School personnel will direct these systems and their instructions should be respected and followed.

In the morning, all cars should arrive through the Griffin Avenue entrance to the parking lot. Entering cars will proceed in a single file to the drop off area near the main gate. Once students have safely exited, cars should depart out the Henderson Avenue entrance.

In the afternoon, please follow the same procedures. If a parent needs to park and enter the buildings following dismissal, he/she should meet the child at the main gate and accompany the student to the desired location and then back to the vehicle. Please note that if students will be walking or biking home, permission must be expressed in writing and submitted to the Main Office.

Tuition Fee Schedule

The tuition fee schedule will be determined by the Board each January. Each family will receive a tuition fee schedule at the time of registration for the upcoming school year. All registration fees are non-refundable. Applications for tuition assistance are made available in the end of February and must be submitted to FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment by mid-April. Award notifications are distributed in May.
