Student Behavior Policy

All students enrolling in classes at Cross Creek must agree with the following Behavior Policy.

As a student of Cross Creek I agree to:

• Follow all policies of the school, including those found in the school policy handbook.
• Show honor to God in my speech, dress and conduct.
• Make my studies a priority and continue to do my personal best at all times.
• Accept my place of leadership to younger students and model appropriate behavior to them.
• Strive to follow Colossians 3:23 by doing everything as unto the Lord, including showing a positive and constructive attitude.
• Guard against cheating, lying, and other dishonoring behaviors.
• Use Matthew 18 model of conflict resolution.
• Develop my gifts and talents in order to build up others around me.
• Show respect to my classmates by demonstrating kindness and refraining from teasing, gossip, and hurtful actions.
• Seek opportunities to daily serve others around me by putting others before myself.
• Follow directions the first time they are given.
• Show respect to visitors in the way that my teacher has appointed.
• Show respect by being courteous in the hallways and by careful use of the facilities and grounds.

As an extension of this policy, we ask that students refrain from bringing any type of toys or recreational magazines to school, as well as to avoid discussions regarding movies or popular music.  These things do not lend themselves to a productive academic setting and can cause unnecessary distractions.
