Parent & Student Handbook
Welcome
Dear Parents,
Welcome to Minnehaha Academy! Thank you for choosing to partner with Minnehaha in the education of your children. Your children are a gift from God and we look forward to cultivating their God-given potential. Whether your child is joining us in the Lower, Middle, or Upper School, we desire that Minnehaha makes a lasting impact on them spiritually, academically, socially, and emotionally, and that they are known, loved, and always learning. We pray that the learning experiences will be transformational as we focus on developing beautiful minds and shaping the soul and character of each student, transforming them into ever more mature and empowered people.
The purpose of this handbook is to communicate guidelines, policies and procedures, and what our partnership entails. It includes our history, mission and values, and the expectations of students, parents, and the School. Moreover, this handbook is our mutual commitment to work together to ensure your child grows in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and others (Luke 2:52). Please read through it carefully.
Blessings,
Rev. Dr. Donna Harris
President, Minnehaha Academy
