·
Rather than using home and
personal e-mail addresses, all applications, forms, informational
paperwork, etc. for G.R.A.C.E. activities and events must be completed
with the G.R.A.C.E. mailing address (G.R.A.C.E., P.O. Box 1263, Rome

·
Information, etc. received
via the G.R.A.C.E. P.O. Box and e-mail address, for G.R.A.C.E.
activities and events, is copied for the G.R.A.C.E. files and then
forwarded immediately to the coordinator of the specific activity or
event. After the activity coordinator completes any necessary
paperwork, the paperwork is copied and forwarded immediately to the
G.R.A.C.E. Coordinator for placement in G.R.A.C.E. files.
·

and home school their children should not miss out on the home
schooling activities and events of their student(s). Parents, please

Addendum
(written and added Summer, 2005)
·
Through a G.R.A.C.E.
budget, activities and events are allowed an assigned allotment for
reimbursement of incurred expenses. With the exception of large
dues/fees paid to Georgia State Bar (Mock Trial Team), National
Geographic Society (National Geographic Geography Bee), Shorter
College (“Sharing the Arts” Night and G.R.A.C.E. Graduation and Honors
Ceremony) and/or large purchase amounts paid to School Annual
Publishing (Yearbook), activity/event coordinators must present
receipts to the G.R.A.C.E. Executive Committee/Board before the
treasurer can cut a check for reimbursement.
·
If a G.R.A.C.E.
activity/event uses Grace Bible Church, 614 Old Dalton Road, N.E., Rome
GA, G.R.A.C.E. will cut a check for the usage fees, but that fee amount
is deducted from that activity/event’s allotted amount in the
G.R.A.C.E. budget.
·
If G.R.A.C.E.
activity/event expenses rise above the allowed allotted amount in the
G.R.A.C.E. budget, the G.R.A.C.E. families that participate in that
activity/event will be responsible for that expense overage.
