Northwest Florida's Private School for Home Educated Students Grades K-12

STUDENT ETIQUETTE

CAMPUS STUDENT CONDUCT CODE
Enrollment in the CIAS campus school is probationary and dependent upon 
whether students fit into the learning environment smoothly. The behavior code for 
CIAS campus students is to exemplify the nature of Jesus Christ in all they 
say and do. See I Corinthians 8-10, Romans 14, and Leviticus 19:28. 

* I will be quiet during school hours, except when in conversation with my 
teachers.
* I will not use bad language; I will not take God's name in vain in any form.
* I will not disturb anything on the teacher’s desk, sit at the desk, or open 
drawers in the desk while the teacher is absent.
* I will not throw objects across the room or at the ceiling.
* I will not write on desks, walls, reading or reference books, posters, etc.
* I will not flirt with the opposite gender or behave suggestively.
* I will not write and pass notes, nor ask other students to pass notes.
* I will not tease with the intention of belittling or hurting another 
person’s feelings; I will not tease a person about unchangeable features.
* I will not be mean; I will not say hurtful comments about anyone.
* I will not gossip about teachers or other students, sowing discord and 
dissention.
* I will not indulge in inappropriate touching or rough-housing, however 
innocent my intentions.
* I will not fight with other students; I will not hit another person with 
the intent of hurting them.
* I will not be dishonest; I will not lie, cheat on tests, or steal from 
anyone.
* I will not be a rebel; This would include refraining from insolence, 
disrespect, passive disobedience, outright disobedience, and disregard to 
instructions or suggestion of teachers or CIAS administration.
* I will not engage in sexual activity or immorality, look at pornography in 
any form, listen to ungodly and lewd music, or watch indecent movies.
* I will not participate in seances or dabble in witchcraft or the occult.
* I will not get body piercings or tattoos, nor will I engage in 
self-mutilation.
* Male students: I will not get my ears or any other part of my body pierced 
while enrolled in CIAS.
* Female students: I will not get more than two sets of ear piercings while 
enrolled in CIAS.
* I will not use alcohol, tobacco, or drug-related substances.

CIAS stands unabashedly for Jesus Christ. We make no apologies for living 
zealous and fervent lives before our God. He says that we are to be in the 
world but not of it. That is, even though we live in this world, we are not to 
be partakers of its sinful seduction by having a worldly mindset, evident in 
beliefs, appearance and conversation, and through participation in carnal music 
and entertainment. James 4:4 says, "Friendship with the world is enmity 
against God." Both Luke 9:25 and Matthew 16:26 say, "What does it profit a man 
if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?"


ENROLLMENT TERMINATION

EXPULSION FROM CAMPUS SCHOOL
CIAS as a private, non-public institution reserves the privilege of setting 
and maintaining its own standards for conduct, dress, and enrollment. CIAS 
maintains the right to refuse or expel any student who violates the standards set 
down in the handbook and Student Conduct Code, as defined by the 
administration. Expelling a student is a serious matter and is taken with prayerful 
consideration at CIAS. Expulsion includes but is not limited to the following 
reasons:

* Not abiding by CIAS rules and the Student Conduct Code.
* Not completing assigned schoolwork or taking assigned tests.
* Cheating on tests or lying to teachers/tutors.
* Not completing enough schoolwork during a school year because of absence of 
parental or adult authority, family schedule, or lack of personal discipline.
* Not completing adequate (180) number of school days during the months of 
August to May.
* More than 5 absences in attendance during one semester, except under 
special circumstances.
* Continual disrespect and disobedience towards teachers, tutors, or 
administration.
* Ungratefulness, grumbling, and complaining.
* Continual and unchecked anger bursts and unmanaged behavior problems.
* Gossiping and sowing "discord among brethren."
* Smoking, alcohol, or drug abuse on or off campus.
* Breaking the law, getting arrested, getting reported to the police/HRS, or 
running away.

Please be advised that engaging in these compromising activities may 
terminate a student's enrollment, and the school may request a withdrawal of any 
student at any time. The administrators of CIAS have a heartfelt concern, 
commitment, and love for the students and families that we serve, and we present this 
guideline in the spirit of love. However, there is an additional commitment 
to the body of Christ and ultimately to the Lord Jesus Christ to be 
considered. CIAS has as its foundation the goals of presenting a Christ-like model to 
the community. In the light of these goals, a student's lifestyle is an 
important consideration.
