STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT

St. Paul’s Lutheran School welcomes all families who desire to have a Christian education. Christian means that one is a follower of Jesus Christ. Followers of Christ are at various stages of development. Through worship, prayer, Bible study, the sacraments and Christian fellowship, followers will develop a more mature relationship with Christ. The Christian home, school and church will work together to provide opportunities for spiritual growth for the children and their families. While it is understood that individual students are at different stages of development, the following code of conduct is required of students attending St. Paul’s Lutheran School.

REDEEMED: Students will learn and continually hear the message that they are redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ. The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ has redeemed them and given them the promise of eternal life.

RESTORED: Through faith in Jesus Christ as their Savior, students will learn that sin can no longer separate them from God but that they are restored as children of the Heavenly Father. Students will respond to the teaching of God’s love and the message of his salvation by being RESPONSIVE, RESPONSIBLE AND RESPECTFUL.

RESPONSIVE: Students will show a willingness to learn of God and what it means to be a Christian. Students will respond to the need to have required materials, participate in lessons and other activities, and will understand that they need to behave in a Christian manner.

RESPONSIBLE: Students will take responsibility for their assignments and behavior. There may be many explanations for incomplete work and misbehavior, but students will learn that explanations do not excuse their failure to be responsible.

RESPECTFUL: Students will respect their peers and all those in authority. Respect includes speaking kindly and appropriately and being positive to one another in thought, word and deed.

FINALLY, FOLLOWERS OF CHRIST ARE:

REPENTENT: Students will recognize that all of are guilty of sin. We can receive forgiveness through faith in Jesus Christ and be redeemed and restored so that we may continue to strive to be responsive, responsible and respectful.
