Attendance

In order to make the best use of our limited class time, we expect students to arrive to class promptly and not miss more than 3 out the 34 classes scheduled. We expect families to contact the administrators, teachers, and the Board before any student absences occur and to contact the teachers to receive instructions to stay current with the class. If families want teachers to organize a zoom meeting or other accommodation, the absence needs to be reported early enough to do so.

Behavior

BCHA is seeking students who confess Christ as Lord and who are self governing. We expect that they are motivated by the grace of God already evident in their lives, with a desire to be responsible, considerate, appreciative, thoughtful, and committed to their studies.

While it is not the BCHA's desire to dictate to the consciences of others, it is our desire to protect those attending our classes as well as to promote an atmosphere of learning. In light of this and in accordance with the guiding principles #1 and #2, we have established this policy:

Please wear clothing that covers undergarments
Keep pants and jeans at hip level or above
Please wear jeans with minimal or no tears/rips
Refrain from wearing excessively tight clothing
All shirts must cover the waist band. NO CROP TOPS
Please keep skirt/dress lengths around the knee and shorts lengths at the fngertips
When wearing leggings, please pair them with tunic-length or longer tops/dresses
No plunging necklines

If a student arrives at BCHA, and a teacher or the administrator notices that the student is not abiding by the dress code, the student's parents will be notified and asked to bring more appropriate clothing for the student to wear. Please use discretion when dressing for co-op, remembering that Christ wants us to honor Him in all that we do. In addition, to maintain an atmosphere of learning, we request that students refrain from any flirtatious, boy/girl situations.

      We expect that parents are ultimately responsible for ensuring that student work is completed in a timely manner, for the students’ prompt arrival for classes and for behavior problems to be addressed quickly at home when necessary. A family interview may be requested by the Board if questions arise concerning the family’s level of commitment.

     Profanity, obscenity, impurity, hateful speech, and bullying are not permitted at BCHA.

     Please review the guiding principles and use them as a standard of conduct. Of special note are guiding principles #1 and #7. With these in mind we want to stress that students need to be timely in the arrival to class. Although building relationships with other students is important, tardiness is not tolerated as it steals precious time the teachers have for instruction and can be disruptive to the class.

Electronics

The use of electronic devices, including cellphones, can be disruptive to other students in class and may only be used with teachers' permission. If necessary, cell phone communication may take place between classes and in study hall, with the permission of the monitor. The BCHA cell phone is available to the students for necessary phone calls. The use of laptops and cellphones in classrooms is determined by the individual teacher. At all times during the day, screens are not to be shared with other students unless authorized by a teacher during class instruction. Electronic devices, including cellphones, will be confiscated until the end of the day if they are used inappropriately.

Weapons and Alcohol

We ask that students refrain from bringing any knives or other potentially dangerous items to BCHA. Any item considered dangerous will be confiscated by the administrators until the end of the day. BCHA students are underage and cannot legally consume alcohol; therefore, if a student is found with alcohol, we will notify parents and call the local Police Department to handle the situation.
