EXCEL Student Code
EXCEL's teacher seek to perpetuate ethical principles based
on biblical moral values, reflecting Christian integrity while promoting high academic standards. In order for teachers to
be effective and for optimal learning to take place, teachers will expect students to abide by accepted standards of proper
classroom behavior. Each teacher will also make and communicate guidelines specific to behavior in his or her classroom, and
students are expected to abide by those standards as well. All EXCEL guidelines relate to four general standards of behavior:
1. Students must show respect to all who are in authority over
them.
2. Students must show respect for their classmates.
3. Students must complete all assigned work and report to class,
study hall, or student lounge on time.
4. Students must not discuss problems with others not directly
related to the problem.
Specific guidelines for behavior while attending EXCEL classes
are:
1. CD players, cassette players, headphones, or other similar
devices are not allowed on campus. Small tape recorders may be allowed for taping of a lecture with the tutor’s permission.
Laptop computers may be allowed with the teacher's permission, but the use of headphones with the computer should be discussed
with the administrator.
2. Any student who verbalizes intent to harm himself or others
will be taken seriously. Parents will be promptly informed and appropriate law enforcement notified, if deemed necessary,
to protect the safety of staff and students.
3. The staff of EXCEL reserves the right to search backpacks, purses, or
any personal items, without notice, for any reason the administrator or staff deems necessary. EXCEL does not allow the possession
of weapons of any kind, drugs (including cigarettes, cigars, etc.), and alcohol. Parents will be notified immediately about
any violation of this policy, and appropriate law enforcement will be notified, depending on the severity of the offense.
Immediate expulsion (see definitions, p. 9) from current and future classes, with no refunds, will occur for any violation
of this type.
EXCEL Dress Code
All EXCEL students are expected to adhere to modest dress, as becomes a Christian
young man or woman. As a general rule, please consider and respect the standards of others and the standards expected by the
conservative church congregation whose facilities we are using. If your apparel and/or accessories could be distracting or
offensive to a student, teachers, parents, or members of HBC who happen by, please refrain from wearing these items to EXCEL
classes. The EXCEL dress code applies equally to students, teachers, staff, volunteers, and visitors.
1. Parents are responsible for ensuring that students adhere
to the dress code. Parents of any student wearing inappropriate clothing will be contacted.
2. No Goth-style clothing or makeup may be worn.
3. Shorts must be of modest walking
length. No short skirts or dresses or short shorts are allowed. As a general rule, all apparel must be no shorter
than the wearer’s fingertips when arms are held at the side in a relaxed position.
4 No tube tops, tank tops, or spaghetti straps are allowed
unless worn over another layer of clothing (for example, a T-shirt).
5. No clothing with inappropriate or offensive messages
or graphics are allowed.
6. No midriff skin, front or back, may be seen
while the wearer is standing, sitting, bending over, reaching, or moving. No unpatched holes in any garment are allowed.
7. No undergarments may be visible at any time. This
rule applies to both males and females.
8. Shoes must be worn at all times.
9. If a student wears any jewelry or accessories that might
be distracting to a tutor or another student, the student may be asked to remove the item(s) during class. In addition:
• Females may wear no more than two pairs of earrings
on the ears.
• Males may not wear earrings.
• No other visible body piercings—including but
not limited to tongues, eyebrows, lips, or nose— are allowed.
10. No head coverings may be worn inside the building.
This rule applies to both males and females.
11. No visible tattoos are allowed.
12. Hair must be a natural color.
13. It is impossible to make a comprehensive list of all forms of inappropriate
dress. In the event that a judgment needs to be made, the administrator will make the determination of appropriateness. If
in doubt, don’t wear it!
