Elementary Enrollment Contract & Tuition Obligation
Breath of Life Preparatory Academy agrees to enroll the eaglet named above for the current academic year and to provide the educational program prescribed at the appropriate grade level.
In consideration of the acceptance of the Enrollment Contract by BOLPA, I agree to pay the required tuition and all other miscellaneous fees that I incur due to my child’s enrollment at BOLPA. A $25.00 fee will be assessed for processing notes with insufficient funds.
I understand that an annual, non-refundable Enrollment Fee shall be paid in advance to enroll my child. I understand that I may guarantee my child’s enrollment by paying this fee in advance each year.
I understand that because yearly tuition is a flat rate that may be divided monthly as a courtesy, I am still responsible for the full tuition amount, regardless of any COVID-19 related matters. Furthermore, a fee may be required for preschool students in the event that BOLPA is closed due to any COVID-19 related matters.
I understand that my obligation to pay tuition and other fees for the full academic year is unconditional and that upon the day which BOLPA has been in session 15 days or on the 15th day that my eaglet has been enrolled at BOLPA, no portion of fees paid or outstanding will be refunded or canceled in the event of absence, withdrawal, or dismissal from BOLPA. Also, no portion of fees will be returned or canceled if my scholar is not able to attend or participate in activities.
Payments more than 30 days past due may result in my child’s removal from class until my account has been made current. All accounts must be in good financial standing by the end of April. No balances can remain after the close of the current academic year.
I understand that a processing fee of $25 per check will be charged to my account for all checks which are returned for any reason, and this fee is in addition to any charges that my bank or financial institution may charge me. I understand that any non-sufficient funds checks will be automatically resubmitted electronically up to three times. I further understand that once a check has been processed electronically, the check is no longer negotiable and will not be returned. If more than two checks are returned within a six-month period, I will be required to pay by an alternate method of payment for the next six-month period. If my school uses Telecheck, I am authorizing the payee, or its agent, upon receipt of my check, to convert the check to an electronic payment item or draft and to submit it for payment as an ACH debit entry or draft to my account, in accordance with the same terms and conditions as my check. In the event that my check is returned for non-payment, Telecheck will make up to two additional electronic collection attempts and, if needed, by paper draft thereafter. The maximum fee allowed by state law will be charged for all returned checks. I am responsible for the principal amount plus all returned check fees.
The 2022-2023 school term will begin on Mondy, August 8th. The yearly tuition is a flat rate that may be divided into monthly payments. Regardless of attendance, tuition is due. A 5% discount will be added to the tuition fee if paid in full a week before the school term begins. For those following a monthly tuition plan, the first tuition payment is due on Friday, July 1st, 2021. A $25.00 late fee applies to tuition paid after the 15th of each month.
Please note that re-enrollment may be denied, and a refund may be issued based on your scholar's behavior, academic performance, and family commitment.
Emergency Contact & Release Persons
The person (s) designated as emergency pick-up people will be contacted and are authorized to pick up my child if there is a medical or other emergency and I cannot be reached. Parent/Guardian must complete any state-specific emergency release form required by individual state childcare licensing regulations.
BOLPA staff will release your child only to you or those persons you have listed above. Emergencies may prevent you from picking up your child; therefore, include those individuals whom you would authorize in such events. If you want a person who is not identified above to pick up your child, you must notify school staff in advance, in writing. Your child will not be released without prior authorization. In the event you call a pick-up authorization into BOLPA because you are unable to submit your authorization in writing, we will use your personal information to verify your identity.
Fees
I understand that an annual, non-refundable Enrollment Fee shall be paid in advance to enroll my child. I understand that I may guarantee my child’s enrollment by paying this fee in advance each year. In instances of agency reimbursement, the Registration Fee is to be paid according to the applicable contract.
Other fees will be imposed if my eagle participates in the school lunch program, long-distance field trips, and other extracurricular activities. I will receive notification of costs that are payable before my scholar participates. I am responsible for the timely payment of such fees as they arise and are requested. Please note that all fees are non-refundable.

I understand that because tuition is a flat rate for elementary and Jr. Kindergarten students that may be divided monthly as a courtesy, I am still responsible for the entire yearly tuition amount, regardless of un-enrollment, expulsion, or any COVID-19 related matters. Furthermore, a fee may be required for preschool students if BOLPA is closed due to inclement weather, natural disasters, or COVID-19.
Late or Unpaid Tuition
If payment in full is not received when due, I agree to pay a late payment fee of $25 per week that tuition is not received. All late fees are subject to change with reasonable notice. I understand that if my account is delinquent for more than one week, I may be asked to withdraw my child until my account is made current. BOLPA cannot guarantee a child’s spot will be held when a child is withdrawn due to non-payment of tuition. Any unpaid tuition fees may be sent to a third-party collection agency.

Illness
I understand that I will be notified should my child become ill during the day, and that I will pick up my child promptly, or make arrangements for an authorized emergency contact person to pick up upon such notification within one hour. If my child is exposed to or contracts a contagious disease or virus, I agree to notify BOLPA and I understand that my child will be re-admitted according to the Re-admission Criteria in the Family Handbook.
Photographs, Videos, and Audio Tapes
I understand and agree that, in consideration for being allowed to photograph, videotape or audio record my child on company property, I shall only use such recording for lawful and private home use, and will not publish, publicly display or sell such recordings. I also understand that I must have written permission before capturing any image of the other children in BOLPA or staff.
Interviewing Children & Inspecting Records
I understand that the state child care regulatory enforcement and administration agency and the local depart¬ment of social services or child protective services has the authority to interview children or staff, to inspect and audit child or facility records, to interview children privately, to observe the physical condition of the children in BOLPA, to make provisions for the independent medical examination by a licensed physician of any child, and to contact and instruct any other appropriate authority to do the same, without prior notice or consent by myself or by BOLPA.
Conflict Resolution
BOLPA considers its relationship with families of BOLPA eagles to be one of mutual respect and kinship. Therefore, BOLPA requests that parents exhaust all internal means (BOLPA administration) to settle disputes before seeking external resolution.
Corporal Punishment
In the interest of correcting misconduct, parents may give BOLPA permission to administer corporal punishment for their child’s disobedient behavior and disrespect for those in authority. Parents are not required to agree to corporal punishment and may be contacted to pick up their child immediately if sent to the office for misconduct. Corporal punishment, is administred under open rebuke, parents may opt for corporal punishment with or without open rebuke.
Inclement Weather & Disasters
I understand that it is the company’s intention to be open and provide childcare service every weekday of the year, excluding holidays, but that inclement weather, natural/national disaster or major building issue may disrupt service from time to time. I will contact BOLPA to ensure that it is open during inclement weather/natural disaster. I agree that in the event that BOLPA is closed for an extended period of time, I will continue to be responsible for my tuition payments for up to three business days.
Parent Handbook
I understand that I am responsible for obtaining BOLPA’S parent handbook online at bol.academy, with the option of printing or viewing online at my leisure.
Registration Documents
I acknowledge that there are additional documents that must be downloaded, completed, and submitted to BOLPA before my child may begin school.
Lost or Damaged Property
BOLPA will employ the Word of God in its teachings and principles, provide a safe environment and use reasonable, sound judgment in overseeing my scholar while entrusted to its care. Nonetheless, I understand that accidents occur. BOLPA is not responsible for lost or damaged items that children may bring to the property. I, therefore, hold harmless BOLPA, its agents, and employees from all claims, damages, or other liabilities for lost or damaged property that my scholar may bring to school and for injuries to my child that are not the result of gross negligence by BOLPA, its agents and employees. By the same token, BOLPA realizes that scholars will accidentally damage property. Notwithstanding, if my scholar willfully and/or wantonly defaces property, I agree to pay BOLPA to restore the such property.
COVID-19
I acknowledge the contagious nature of the Coronavirus/COVID-19 and that the CDC and many other public health authorities still recommend practicing social distancing.
I agree to inform BOLPA if my child or someone in my/my child’s household should become ill or display any symptoms
related to COVID-19, including; cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fever, chills, repeated shaking with chills,
muscle pain, headache, sore throat, or new loss of taste or smell. Furthermore, I agree to inform BOLPA if my child has been exposed to any contagious disease or virus in any way.
I further acknowledge that Breath of Life Preparatory Academy has put in place preventative measures to reduce the
spread of the Coronavirus/COVID-19.
I further acknowledge that Breath of Life Preparatory Academy cannot guarantee that I or my child will not become
infected with the Coronavirus/Covid-19. I understand that the risk of becoming exposed to and/or infected by the
Coronavirus/COVID-19 may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited
to, BOLPA’s Staff, and other students and their families.
I voluntarily seek services provided by Breath of Life Preparatory Academy and acknowledge that I may be increasing my
child’s risk to exposure of the Coronavirus/COVID-19. I acknowledge that I must comply with all set procedures to reduce
the spread of COVID-19 while my child attends BOLPA.
I hereby release and agree to hold Breath of Life Preparatory Academy harmless from, and waive on behalf of myself, my child, my heirs, and any personal representatives any and all causes of action, claims, demands, damages, costs, expenses, and compensation for damage or loss to myself and/or property that may be caused by any act, or failure to
