At Plaza Heights Christian Academy, we believe we should show respect for Christ and His Word by having a Christ-like attitude. Galatians 5:22-23, Ephesians 4:22-32, and Philippians 4:8-9, help us achieve and maintain an attitude of self-control that is pleasing to Christ and to others. We believe students should show respect for both parents and teachers. Colossians 3:20 says, “Children obey your parents in all things; for this is pleasing unto the Lord.” At Plaza we believe that parents play a very important role in their children’s lives. Therefore, we want to assist you by encouraging and strengthening your child through Christ and His Word so that he/she may show a positive attitude at school and at home.

Each student will be disciplined, as needed, with firm Christian love, according to individual needs. A student must learn to submit to authority. If a student learns to submit to teachers, parents, and others in authority, then he/she will learn to submit to God’s authority in his/her own life.

Each teacher is given the responsibility of enforcing classroom and school rules. The Administrator will be available to assist as needed.

Students will be treated fairly and equitably. Discipline will be based on a careful assessment of the circumstances of each case. Factors to consider will include seriousness of the offense, student’s age, frequency of misconduct, and student’s attitude. Discipline and order are attained through a proper balance of positive and negative techniques and/or reinforcements. Teachers use a variety of methods to promote good behavior and aid in character training.

Each teacher develops a system of positive reinforcement for those who follow standards of good behavior. This may include rewards, verbal praise, stickers, certificates, extra break time, etc.
