Academic & Behavioral Contracts
Students who are consistently unsatisfactory in either their academics or behavior may be required to sign an Academic
or Behavior Contract. This involves placing the student on a probationary period in which he/she must abide by the
conditions and criteria set forth from Seffner Christian Academy. The appropriate level principal or guidance counselor
will contact parents when a child is being placed on an Academic or Behavior contract and will be asked to sign the
contract form. If students do not meet the assigned criteria, they may be asked to withdraw from school.
