2024-2025 ACCEPTANCE OF THE STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT
( To be completed by all students entering Grades 6-12 )
I agree to :
1 . Seek to build up and encourage the body of believers at The Cornerstone Christian School , promoting the unity that Jesus prayed for His followers in John 17 .
2 . Strive to work in harmony with my classmates , the teachers and staff . If faced with a conflict or misunderstanding , I will immediately and respectfully go to those involved to resolve the situation .
3 . Practice courtesy and consideration in all associations with teachers , school employees , fellow students and visitors . I will respect their person and property ( See Ephesians 4:28 – 32 ).
4 . Respect the authority of teachers , administrators and staff members , and treat them courteously , respectfully , and obediently as unto the Lord ( Hebrews 13:17 and 1 Thessalonians 5:12 – 13 ).
5 . Do my own work . I will not give or receive help on tests or homework unless the teacher has granted this privilege on a particular project ( including the use of AI technology ). Since honesty is a Christian virtue that should be displayed by all students , I understand cheating is a serious offense .
6 . Refrain from plagiarism because it is a serious offense . The definition of plagiarism is “ the use of another writer ’ s ideas or words without giving the writer credit for them .” I will apply the use of AI tools in the same manner by only using them with the teacher ’ s permission and giving credit to my allowed use of the tool .
7 . Comply with the school ’ s dress code policy as outlined in the Parent-Student Handbook ( subject to updates with notification ).
8 . Follow all school rules related to use of cell phones and other electronic devices while on campus .
9 . Abstain from profanity and vulgar or abusive speech and actions . Such speaking and acting are harmful to others and is certainly not appropriate or conducive to my moral and spiritual development . Bullying is not permitted , as defined by the administration ( Ephesians 4:29 ).
10 . Refrain from any public displays of affection while on campus and at school-sponsored events . I am expected to conduct myself in a discreet and Christian manner . Likewise , same-sex romantic relationships and expressions are not permitted .
11 . Uphold biblical standards of sexual purity ( 24 / 7 / 365 ), which limits premarital , romantic expressions and restricts all sexual activity to only married , heterosexual couples ( Genesis 2:18 , Romans 1:26-27 , Ephesians 5:25-33 ).
12 . Abstain both on and off campus and at all times ( 24 / 7 / 365 ) from the use or possession of alcoholic beverages , tobacco , drugs , marijuana , vaping materials , pornography , as well as gambling and other undesirable practices that are generally recognized to be harmful to my health and Christian character ( 1 Corinthians 6:19 – 20 ).
13 . Leave at home all dangerous or unhelpful items such as weapons of any sort , knives , water pistols , lighters , e-cigarettes , matches , et al .
14 . Follow all school rules on all field trips and on all school-sponsored events both on and off the school campus .
