Student Behavior Policy

Expected Student Behavior 

Show respect for authority figures- other parents, tour guides, field trip leaders, and guest speakers. Teach children that the adult in charge of the activity has been delegated to correct inappropriate behavior if necessary. (1 Peter 2:13-17; Romans 13:1)

Wholesome friendships are encouraged between boys and girls. Have an attitude of compassion for differences, needs, or disabilities of others.  Teach children not to be cruel to people who are different from themselves. (Matthew 7:12; James 2:1-9; Galatians 5:22-24; Romans 12:10; Ephesians 5:3)

Unkind remarks, name calling, profanity, coarse jokes, conversations involving occult or sexual situations is unacceptable. (1 Thess. 2:12; Ephesians 4:1 & 5:4-5)

Respect the property and landscape of those we are visiting.  Remind children to walk in the halls, sit in their seats and "stay on the path". Playing on the stage, rough housing, using electronics, or office equipment without proper permission is not allowed. Climbing trees or fences; picking leaves or flowers on private property is not appropriate. Stay inside, unless given parental permission or have supervision. (1 Cor. 8:7-13; Phil. 2:3-4; Romans 12:17-18)

Please keep headphones, ear buds, cell phones, or other distracting articles at home or turned off in a backpack. (James 3:13)

Clothing should be clean, neat, and in good repair, modest in style, fit, appropriate for the activity or event,and should not draw undue attention. (1 Tim. 2:9; Col. 3:17, 23-24)

No weapons, alcoholic beverages, tobacco products, or illegal drugs- are permitted during any homeschool function. Noncompliance will result in expulsion from the current activity, and for a second offense, expulsion from future homeschool activities. (Matt. 5:16; Gal. 5:19-21)

Discipline and Classroom Management 

We are a Christian co-op and believe it honors God when our students are obedient to adults and respectful of their fellow students. Each classroom teacher will explain his or her own class rules to the students so that they understand what is expected of them during that class. 

If a student violates the rules, the following processes will take place:

First Offense:  The student receives a clear warning from the teacher or other adult in charge. 

Second Offense: The student is removed from the class and taken to their parent or guardian.

Third Offense: The student and parent will meet with a member of the leadership team to determine the next course of action. 

In the event of expulsion, there will be no refund of fees.
