Students can best receive a quality, morally based education if
students, parents/guardians, and school officials work together.
Normally, these parties can resolve their differences. In some rare
instances, however, the school may find it necessary, in its discretion,
to require parents/guardians to
withdraw their child.
As
an express condition of enrollment, students and parents/guardians
shall follow standards of conduct that are consistent with the Christian
principles of the school, as determined by the school in its
discretion. These principles include but are not limited to any policies
or procedures set forth in the school's parent/student handbook.
These Christian principles include but are not limited to:
Parents/guardians
are expected to work courteously and cooperatively with the school to
assist the student in meeting the academic, moral, and behavioral
expectations of the school.
Students and
parents/guardians may respectfully express their concerns about the
school operation and its personnel. However, they may not do so in a
manner that is discourteous, scandalous, rumor driven, disruptive,
threatening, hostile, or divisive.
In a place where a
school employee is required to be in the course of his or her duties,
any parent/guardian or other person whose conduct materially disrupts
class work or extracurricular activities or involves substantial
disorder may be guilty of a misdemeanor. This statement does not apply
to any otherwise lawful employee-concerted activity, including but not
limited to picketing and distributing handbills.
Any
parent/guardian or other person could risk his or her child's
continuation in school if he or she insults or abuses the principal or
any teacher in the presence of students, parents/guardians, or other
school personnel while on school premises, public sidewalks, public
streets, other public ways adjacent to school premises, or at some other
place if the principal or teacher is required to be there in connection
with assigned school activities.
These expectations
for students and parents/guardians include but are not limited to all
school-sponsored programs and events (e.g., extended care, athletics,
and field trips).
The school reserves the right to determine, in
its discretion, when conduct is severe enough to warrant immediate
action without warning and/or without an intermediate step short of
withdrawal.
