General Behavior Guidelines
It is impossible to have an exhaustive list of all rules for the school and each classroom. Simply stated, a student must obey the duly constituted authorities in the school (i.e. administrators and teachers).
Ultimately, most rules are summed up by: Students may not harm themselves or others, damage property, or disrupt any aspect of the learning process.
While this general statement sets the tone for appropriate behavior, there are certain behaviors which demand specific attention. This handbook section lists several such behaviors and CHCA regards violating any rules related to the specific behaviors as a serious offense.
E ngaged in our learning | Are you trying your best? |
A ccepting God’s plan for us and others | Are you accepting of others? |
G enerous with our talent and in our actions | Are you being nice and/or modest? |
L eading the way for others to be successful | Are you allowing others to learn and grow? |
E nriching the school community | Are you a positive influence within the school environment? |
S erving the Lord and the outside community | Are you doing your part to make the world a better place? |
Incentives for Blessing our School Community with your Effort:
Students earn points for making positive contributions to the community. Teachers can modify incentives and sonsequences as they see fit. Points are recorded in student planners and can be redeemed for special privileges.
