HOPE² Student Expectations:
As a student attending classes as part of HOPE²
I will treat all teachers, adult volunteers, location personnel, and fellow students with courtesy and respect. I will also treat the facility with respect and clean up after myself; I will encourage my classmates to do the same.
I will stay in areas supervised by adults. If I drive myself to class, I understand that an adult must be responsible for me while I am participating in HOPE² classes and activities, if no adult is specifically responsible for me, I will not loiter on the premises.
I will bring in assigned work and all materials necessary for my classes. I will participate in class in a productive way and not be disruptive, following all classroom rules designated by my teacher. I understand that it is my responsibility to learn the material covered and get assignments from the teacher or classmates if I miss class.
I agree that it is my responsibility to follow the dress code and that violation of the dress code may be subject to disciplinary action.
I understand that it is my responsibility to self-govern my thoughts, words, and actions at all times. I am a representative of HOPE², but more importantly a representative of Jesus Christ, and an example to unbelievers who may be observing me.
“Teach these things and insist that everyone learn them. Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in the way you live, in your love, in your faith, and your purity.” 1 Timothy 4:11,12
I understand that failure to meet these expectations may be subject to disciplinary action by the board in addition to my parents.
Dress code:
The Dress Code applies to all participants of HOPE², students and adults alike, at all HOPE² activities regardless of location. Participants of HOPE² must remain covered from their shoulders to their knees. Shorts, including athletic shorts, must be no shorter than one hand length (fingertips to wrist) above the knee. No spaghetti strap, off the shoulder or midriff tops. Tank tops may be permissible as long as undergarments and cleavage are covered. No leggings except under a skirt and no pajama bottoms. To the neck T-shirts and long shorts, capris, jeans, or knee-length or longer skirts are preferred. Little girls should wear shorts underneath skirts to protect them during position changes. Formal Prom attire may be taken on a case-by-case basis. Individuals found to be in violation of the dress code will be offered the choice of covering up or going home.
If a student needs to be spoken to more than once, there will be a conversation with that student’s parents. If dress code violations continue, there will be a meeting with the student and parent(s) with the board to discuss disciplinary action.
