BASIC SCHOOL RULES

     Students are expected to cooperate with basic Christian standards of behavior and conversation. 
The following list of school rules are those essential policies that we require all our students to be aware of and adhere to. These rules are posted in every classroom.

1. Prompt and Cheerful Obedience. “And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men.” Colossians 3:23
2. Respect the Property of Others. “Whoever has no rule over his own spirit is like a city broken down, without walls.” Proverbs 25:28 Students will be held responsible for damage done to school property. Actual replacement costs will be assessed and charged to the offending student's parents. 
3. Be Prepared and On Time for All Classes. “Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.” Philippians 2:4 
4. Treat Others with Respect. “And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise.” Philippians 2:4 
5. Listen Courteously when Others are Speaking. “Love . . . does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil.” 1 Corinthians 13:5 
6. Always Tell the Truth. “Therefore, putting away lying, Let each of you speak truth with his neighbor, for we are members of one another.” Proverbs 10:9
