Behavior

Guidelines for a Christian Lifestyle

Our school guidelines with respect to behavior, dress code, and academic achievement are based on our Lord’s command to love God and love others (Mark 12:30-31). We believe that if we are truly pursuing God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength that we will gladly and humbly submit to those who keep watch over us.

Standards of Conduct

As an academic institution, FRCS is not designed to be a correctional institution. Children should not be enrolled with the idea that FRCS will “reform” them. Only the Spirit of God can change a human heart. FRCS has, however, established school guidelines and expectations for each student to follow as an outward expression of their love and respect for the Lord and for those whom He has placed in their lives as authorities.

We believe a student should learn the God-given responsibility to walk honorably in every way (Hebrews 13:18, Ephesians 5:15, Psalm 119:1). Therefore, we have established the following Code of Conduct, for which all secondary students are held accountable, both on and off campus, including electronically produced communications (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, blogs, texts, emails, instant messaging, etc.).

Student Code of Conduct

As a student of Front Range Christian Junior/Senior High school, in submission first to the Lord Jesus Christ and through the power of His Holy Spirit, I will:

1. Strive to grow in my spirit as I develop my own relationship with Christ, and honor Him in all I do and say.
   2 Peter 3:18 – “But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever.”
2. Seek to apply myself wholeheartedly to my intellectual pursuits and talents, and to use the full power of my mind for the glory of God.
   1 Corinthians 10:31 – “Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all for the glory of God.”
3. Support school activities, attend all of my classes, and be actively involved in chapel services.
   Colossians 4:13 – “…until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.”
4. Be involved in my home church by attending regularly, and doing what I can to support the ministry of the church.
   Hebrews 10:25 – “Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another…”
5. Cultivate good relationships socially with others, and seek to love others as Christ loves me. I will not lie, steal, curse, or gossip.
   Ephesians 5:1-2 – “Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us…”
6. When I have a conflict with another person, seek to apply Matthew 18:15-20 principles as outlined under Guidelines for Community Life in All School Policies section of this handbook.
7. Maintain honesty and integrity in all of my actions and words. I will do all of my own work and will not cheat in any way, and I will not help others to cheat.
   Proverbs 11: 3 – “The integrity of the upright guides them, but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity.”
8. Respect those in authority and my fellow students. I will respect the property of others. Pranks played on people or property can be perceived as hurtful or offensive. If in doubt as to the tastefulness/harm of a prank, I will choose to abstain.
   Hebrews 13:17 – “Obey your leaders and submit to their authority…”
   Galatians 6:10 – “Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people…”
9. Uphold the dress code of FRCS at school and at all school-sponsored events.
   Romans 13: 14 – “Clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature.”
   Romans 14:13 – “…Make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in your brother’s way.”
10. Keep my total being under subjection from all immoral and illegal acts and habits. To this end, I will not take any illegal substance, take prescription medication not prescribed to me, or use chemicals to alter my mental, physical, or emotional state; I will neither commit nor promote any sexual acts or behavior (including homosexual behavior); I will not drink alcoholic beverages of any kind; I will not use tobacco or marijuana; I will not engage in other behavior that is contrary to the behavioral guidelines as stated in this Parent/Student Handbook.
    1 Corinthians 6: 19-20 – “Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.”​
    I willingly submit to correction and will seek repentance and forgiveness when necessary. By signing this handbook I am making a commitment before God and the school’s Administration to willingly live within the expectations and standards of the FRCS community as a prerequisite for my attendance at FRCS.
    1 John 1:9 – “If we confess our sins He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”
