Staff.
Parental Involvement
Parent orientation, meetings, and conferences help to promote a good
Understanding between parents or guardians and the BHCA staff. Every parent is
Required to participate in these informative and helpful programs.
Discipline
BHCA is not a corrective institution; consequently, we ask that a child not be
Enrolled with the idea that he will be reformed. We are here to work with the
Home, but not take the place of parents who are experiencing difficulty. All new
Students are admitted on probation for the first six weeks.
The student must at all times conduct himself in a manner becoming a lady or
Gentleman. Griping or disrespect is not tolerated! If your child does come home
complaining about a policy or discipline, you should follow the procedure below:
1. Give the staff the benefit of the doubt.
2. Realize that your child's reporting is emotionally biased and may not
Include all the information.
3. Realize that the school has reasons for all rules and that they are enforced
Without partiality.
4. Support the administration and call the school for all the facts.
It is essential that a quality learning environment be maintained for all students.
Any child, whose attitude or behavior is not in accordance with school policies or
Principles will be placed on probation and parents will be called for a
Conference. If the administration feels the situation has not changed within a
Designated time, parents will be asked to withdraw the child.
BHCA will strive to provide discipline which is firm, consistent, fair, and tempered
With love. Staff members maintain standards of behavior in the LearningCenter
Through incentives, kindness, love and a genuine regard for the student. However,
When disciplinary action becomes necessary, it is firmly carried out, tempered by
Good judgment and understanding. This includes the issuance of demerits which
Can result in loss of privileges, detention after school hours and in some cases the
Use of corporal correction. Parents will be notified in writing of detentions or
Corporal correction.
Students are reminded that God expects us to be disciplined in all areas of life:
"Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers..." Romans 13:1
"Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves..." Hebrews 13:17
"He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth." Proverbs 10:17
"Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying." Proverbs 19:18
"Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him." Proverbs 22:15
General Information for Parents and Students
Church Attendance We strongly suggest all parents and students attend the
Church of their choice regularly.
School Attendance - A written excuse signed by a parent or guardian must be
Presented to the supervisor when a student returns to school after an absence. If
The absence is foreseeable, a note should be sent in advance.
Excessive absences will inhibit the student's progress. If, in the opinion of the
Administration, the absences are unnecessary, the student will be considered truant.
Continued unexcused absence will necessitate a conference with parent and
Principal, possibly leading to disciplinary action or suspension.
Students must have written permission to be excused from class early.
A student is considered tardy if he is not in the LearningCenter on time. Continued
Tardiness will necessitate a conference with parent and principal, possibly leading
To disciplinary action or suspension. A written excuse must be received for a tardy
Student to be excused.
Students should be at their office ready to begin the day at 7:45 And be picked
Up promptly at Students must be picked up no later than 3, at the
End of each school day. Students being picked up early must be checked out through the school office.
Homework -The responsibility for scholastic achievement is placed on students.
Most students should not need to take academic work home. The goals set by the
Student and reviewed by the supervisor usually are no more that the student is
Capable of completing during the school day. Should the student not meet his goals?
For that day, he will be required, at the discretion of the supervisor, to complete the
Work at home after school. A homework slip will be given with the prescribed
Homework and should be signed by the parent and returned the following day.
