STUDEN POLICIES
Dress & Appearance - Neat and modest clothing is to be worn at Thursday Classes and all CBA activities and events. Longer skirts and shorts are appropriate - short skirts and short shorts are not. Jeans are allowed. Tops covering shoulders and midriff are necessary. Grunge, punk, hip-hop, pjs, ear rings for male students, etc. or other forms of “costuming” are not appropriate. Extremes in dress, make-up, hairstyle, hair color or other accessories are not to be worn to CBA classes or any other CBA sponsored event or activity. If a staff member or teacher feels any student is not in compliance with the established guidelines the student will be given a shirt or sweat pants to wear for the day. Any student with repeated violations will not be permitted to return to the classes and re-enrollment for the following school year will be at the discretion of the CBA Board of Directors.

1. Music - Students are allowed to listen to personal music with earphones in the study hall only. Volume level must not be audible to others in the study hall. Because of the broad range of convictions related to music, students may bring only music approved by their parents and that music must not be shared with other students.
   
2. Cell Phones - Students may not use cell phones (phoning, texting, etc.) in class or in study hall. If a parent needs to contact a student during the school day he/she may leave a message for the student to check during the break between classes OR the parent can call the CBA Thursday Class cell phone (301 - 461 - 1518). A staff member will locate your student and get the message to them or bring them to the phone. A phone is available for students to use in case of an emergency or to contact parents. Students who need to use the phone during the day can contact Mr. Smith or, with permission from the study hall supervisor or on-site CBA staff, can use their own cell phone in a designated area.
   
3. DVD Players, Video Games, Game Boys, etc. - Any device that can play movies, video games or other forms of electronic entertainment is not appropriate or permitted at Thursday Classes. Board games can be played in study hall with the permission of the study hall supervisor.
   
4. Arrival & Departure - Once a student arrives at the site of Thursday Classes, he/she is expected to come directly into the building through the gym entrance. Students are not to loiter in their cars, in the parking lot or outside the building when arriving or leaving for the day. Students are not permitted to leave the building during the school day unless accompanied by a parent without specific permission from one of the CBA staff. This is a matter of security and liability. Students who drive need to have a driver permission slip on file and are not to leave the building until they are leaving for the day.
   
5. Visitors - No visitors are allowed during the school day without prior approval from either Mr. Smith or Mrs. Abbott. Parents are always welcome.
   
6. Study Hall - The purpose of study hall is to provide a supervised area for students if they have an open hour between classes. Students are expected to remain in their seats, do schoolwork, converse quietly and wait for their next class. Students who need an extra quiet place to study, prepare for a test or do more challenging work can request a student pass from the study hall supervisor to work in the “Quiet Study” area. Only individual students will be given quiet study passes. These students are expected to work quietly in their assigned place or return to study hall. Students must be signed up for the study hall (on the class registration form) in order to be in the study hall for that hour.
   

Keep in mind that these guidelines apply to all CBA events and activities including field trips, academy sponsored social events as well as end of the year events such as Promotion Night, Senior Graduation, etc. If you have any questions please feel free to contact the CBA office.
