GENERAL BEHAVIOR 

It is expected that all students conduct themselves in a manner consistent with the accepted norms of Christian values on campus and at all school activities. Respect and love of others should be a pervasive theme guiding all student interactions. Students should address faculty, staff and other students politely, courteously and respectfully in a spirit of friendliness and in an atmosphere of cooperation essential to an educational community. Repeated negative attitudes and behavior destructive to the community will not be tolerated and will result in immediate action or remediation. Such action includes but is not limited to: teacher conference, professional counseling at parent's expense, probation, or expulsion. Disrespect, defiance, disruption, profanity, vulgarity, disobedience, texting, tweeting, lying, academic dishonesty (cheating), sexual harassment, any type of threat including cyber threats or bullying, forgery or fraud will not be tolerated on campus or at any school function at anytime.

CLASSROOM BEHAVIORS 

The usual rules of common politeness are to be observed in dealing with teachers and other students. Behavior which disrupts or in any way hampers class progress is unacceptable. 

  • students must be in the classroom when the bell begins to ring, otherwise it will be considered an unexcused tardy
  • students will have their materials in class when the bell rings (may not leave class to get materials)
  • Students will be held accountable for respectful silence during prayer and announcements
  • students may not engage in any activity which prevents the teacher from teaching or another student from learning
  • students may not complete unfinished assignments during class time unless the teacher so advises
  • no food or drink in the classroom except for curricular related events approved in advance by appropriate administrator
  • all uniform regulations will be enforced
  • no grooming in class
  • students may not be outside of class without a hall pass
  • disrespect, foul language or violent behavior will not be tolerated
  • students are to dispose of trash properly.
  • vandalism and graffiti will not be tolerated.
  • students will not sit on top of desks, tables or put their feet on desks or seats
  • articles on or near the teacher's desk are not to be touched or removed without permission

A student who consistently receives infractions without showing signs of improvement contributes to the overall erosion of discipline and the lack of an educational environment will be subject to further disciplinary action.

HALLWAY BEHAVIOR 

  • no profanity or inappropriate gestures
  • no bouncing or throwing of balls or other objects
  • no food or drink
  • no screaming or shouting
  • no pushing, shoving, running or jumping
  • no slamming of lockers​
