CARE OF THE BUILDING & SAFETY Students should take personal pride in caring for the church at all times. They can assist those who clean each week by using waste baskets and garbage cans for the disposal of waste materials; by refraining from getting pencil marks and finger prints on walls; by keeping the tops of desks and tables in good condition; by picking up paper that is lying around; and on rainy days by making sure their shoes have no mud on them before coming in the building. These things are not difficult to do and would be greatly appreciated. Be a good citizen. Use of balls in the building is restricted to recess and organized sports under the supervision of an adult only. Skateboards are not allowed in the building or on the front sidewalks. Heelys-type wheeled shoes are not to be used in the building. LUNCHES Hot Lunches are available to purchase for $3 each week. A menu for each month will be placed in your Family Folders. Students may pack a lunch if they prefer. No RED or PURPLE drinks are to be brought into the church!! COMMUNICATIONS Group Email is the most affordable and accurate way to communicate all sorts of information to our BHSE families. Many helpful and informative email come out and you don’t want to miss out! If you are not receiving the Group Email and would like to be, contact Janelle Sterrett at bhse@comcast.net and request to be added to the list or feel free to stop by the Front Desk on Mondays. Please let us know if your information changes at any time during the school year. Family Folders and Teacher Folders are one of our most valuable communication tools.

FUNDRAISING Fundraising is a vital part of keeping BHSE as affordable as possible. We will be announcing these opportunities throughout the year and we ask that you participate in any way that you are able. You do not have to participate in each and every one to be a valuable asset in this area. MOMS' MEETINGS A moms' meeting will be held on the first Monday of each month from 9:00 – 10:00 a.m. Often, a guest will be asked to speak on a specific topic to benefit home schooling families.

Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.” With education in a Christian atmosphere, discipline is not confined to mere control, nor should it be equated to punishment. Instead of being negative, Christian discipline is positive because it makes a contribution to Christian character and conduct. When a student is in association with high ideals and values, and Christ-like attitudes, he learns to evaluate his own attitudes and conduct in the light of these criteria. In the classroom situation, order is necessary for the teaching- learning process to be effective. The student's knowledge of accepted behavior should be the means of control. BEHAVIORAL POLICY:
DRESS CODE: Modesty is our main objective. * No tight clothing * No bare skin showing at midriffs * No sheer clothing * No body piercing (other than ears) * No tank tops * No sleeveless tops on boys; Girls sleeveless tops must have a 4-finger width across the strap * No short skirts or short shorts (skirts and shorts are to be no more than 3" above the knee) * No underclothing is to be shown (seen) at any time * No permanent tattoos may be visible * No "Shock Value" tee-shirts Note: If the parent has any question as to whether his/her child is dressed appropriately, please have them change to another outfit. Classes only meet one day a week. Appropriate dress for school is a mark of pride in yourself and your school. Tutorial Homework Policy & Procedure 1) First time homework is not submitted on time:
Policy on Public Displays of Affection at BHSE or BHSE functions.
