NorthPointe Christian High School Service
Requirement
The NorthPointe Christian School Board has approved
a service requirement as part of the high school Bible
curriculum. The requirement begins with the second
semester of 2006-2007. Students must complete the
required hours at each grade level in order to receive
either a grade or credit in Bible; however, the
completion of the requirement will not affect the
student’s grade.

Middle/High School Leisure Reading
Requirement (updated for 2008-2009)
The English department is updating its required
extracurricular reading—now called “Leisure
Reading”—and wants you to be aware of these
significant changes. We have four goals for students.
We want them to enjoy reading improve their reading comprehension—and
writing—skills have the opportunity to develop and exercise their
ability to discern what is true and Godly in what they
read be prepared for the expectations of the colleges
they will attend.
You will note that there are now fewer books on the
list. We have tried to select books of educational and
moral merit, though it is still important that you
help your children select books that reflect the
values of your family. Please pre-approve the novels
that your children read and then confirm that your
child has completed the reading by providing the
appropriate signatures on the new forms.
Students may continue to begin their Leisure
Reading on the first day of summer vacation, though
there is now a deadline for each of the three
segments. (Students may also continue to read ahead of
the deadlines.) Students must select at least two
books—that they have not already read—from the new
reading list, and the remainder of the required
reading must be approved by their English teacher. The
completion of each segment of the Leisure Reading will
now account for 10% of the students’ grades.
Summary of Procedures
- Each student must read two books from the list for
his/her grade level.
- The remaining books may be selected by the student but
must be approved by the student’s English teacher if
they are not on the list.
- Students will get a parent’s approval and signature on
the form prior to reading a book.
After reading a book, students must complete the
report form for their grade level.
- Parents must sign the form once the students complete
the book and report.
- Students will turn in the forms to their teacher by
the deadline.
