CONDUCT GUIDELINES
The
basic guideline for conduct is positive:
Love
the Lord your God with all your heart,
mind, soul, and strength and your
neighbor as yourself.
Clear
Biblical standards are the foundation
for the rules governing conduct at
Coulee Christian School. The
specific rules or guidelines are
designed to both create and promote a
Christ-centered environment for learning
and disciple-making. It is neither
asked nor expected that there be total
agreement with every rule or
guideline. It is also clear that
it would be next to impossible and
certainly undesirable to try and have a
rule for absolutely everything and every
situation. As a student at Coulee
Christian School, one will, however, be
expected to conduct himself/herself in
harmony with both the letter and spirit
of all rules and guidelines.
General
rules:
-
Respect
for authority of the Administration,
faculty, staff members, and parents
is expected. Students may not
speak ina rude, discourteous
manner to teachers, staff, or those
in authority over them.
-
Proper
speech is expected. Vulgarity,
profanity, off-color remarks or
stories, and lying are not allowed.
-
Stealing,
cheating, and lying are considered
serious offenses and will be dealt
