We have a very simple dress code.
1. Students need to wear clothes that do not dishonor God with what is written or pictured on them.
2. Their outfits need to fully cover where their underwear should be at all times.
3. Be mindful of modesty in your decisions.
First, as teachers and staff, we are in prayer for our students and the way in which the school functions. We strive to be a role model that glorifies God in word and in deed. We endeavor to provide a safe atmosphere that is conducive to students’ learning by establishing clear expectations so that all understand what our rules and procedures are. We encourage critical thinking skills and are open to respectful suggestions by the students. Every child is “fearfully and wonderfully” made, and we recognize that learning styles and coping skills are not the same for all. If there are ever unresolved issues, we follow the Matthew 18 principle.
Any school closing or delays in starting will coincide with Pflugerville Independent School District. We follow their schedule.
Lunch is not provided by the Academy. The school has a refrigerator and microwaves for students’ use. Lunch will be 30 minutes long.
For special occasions, parents may bring goodies to the classroom to share. These goodies should be ready to serve and easy for teachers to distribute. Please coordinate with the teacher in advance. The class is encouraged to plan parties around the various holidays
"Commit your work to the Lord and your plans will be established." Proverbs 16:3
- Students need to be prepared for class and in their seats by 8:30 or they will be considered tardy for class
- Students will be expected to be in attendance for the entire day. Please inform the office if your child needs to be absent for any reason or if you will be late.
- Three times of being late will equal one absence
- Three absences due to being late to class will result in disciplinary actions
Students returning to school too soon after an illness related absence can perpetuate the cycle of contagious illness among our students. To protect students from communicable illnesses, students infected with certain diseases are not allowed to come to school while contagious. If a parent/guardian suspects that his or her child has a communicable or contagious disease, they should contact the school office so that other students who might have been exposed to the disease may be alerted according to Department of State Health Services. Students should be symptom free for 24 hours before returning to school. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in protecting all of the students from communicable or contagious diseases.
