Electronics Policy

In order to maintain a studious learning environment, free from unnecessary distractions, cell phones and other electronic devices are not permitted for use by students at Logos Christian Ministries. Students bringing any of these devices will have them held by the classroom mentor to be given to the parent at pick-up time.

Special allowances may be made for class projects or presentations, which may require the use of an electronic device, and also for health reasons (e.g., blood sugar readings for diabetics).

Dress Code

By implementing a dress code, we hope to contribute to a disciplined and orderly atmosphere, which will give the students the greatest opportunity for success in their studies.

Generally speaking, students are expected to dress modestly. The students should be dressed in clothes that are suitable for a Christian, educational environment. Specific guidelines are listed below.

It is the parents’ responsibility to make sure that their children are dressed appropriately. Initial violations of the dress code will result in a warning. Students who exhibit repeated violations and disregard for the rules may be subject to suspension or, potentially, dismissal from the program.
