Spread the tidings all around -- JESUS SAVES!
As part of maintaining a Christ-like atmosphere on our campus, we insist that members of the Mt. Carmel community treat one another with respect. As creatures made in the image of God, everyone is worthy of respect. Faculty and staff will treat students with respect, and students are responsible for treating faculty and staff as well as fellow students with respect. Insulting each other, making hurtful comments, picking on others and similar types of behavior create an environment that is contrary to Christian love. Students are to show respect to those in authority over them through obedience in a respectful manner.
Because of our boarding situation, students are together twenty-four hours a day for seven days each week. This produces an artificial environment in which students tend to form romantic relationships that develop too quickly and become too serious. Our purpose in adopting a social policy is to allow boys and girls to interact in normal ways while preventing immoral behavior and serious dating relationships. We want a social policy that encourages boys and girls to form natural relationships with a large number of their peers.
Our social policy follows these guidelines:
FOOD SERVICE PROGRAM: Any person alleging discrimination in service by the food service program based on race, color, national origin, sex or disability has a right to file a complaint within 180 days of the alleged discriminatory action. Under special circumstances this time may be extended. Such person must request a “Civil Rights Grievance Report Form” from the food service director.
No student should leave the school grounds during the school day without the consent of the principal or one of the office personnel. The student must sign out on the clipboard in the office. Also, no student will be dismissed at an irregular time, except by written or personal request of a parent or guardian. No student will be permitted to leave school with a stranger.
TOWN TRIPS: If you want to go to town, you may get permission from your dorm monitor, not the office, to go on Saturday afternoons. For Saturday town trips, pay the driver before leaving campus. For doctor trips, pay the nurse. Failure to pay for the trip, improper conduct or improper dress will cancel future permission to go to town. Times for town trips will be announced at Saturday brunch. Students wishing to go to town should be on their respective porch at the announced time. Dorm students are required to sign out of the dorm before leaving for town trips.
Transportation Fees:
For any other town trips through the week, the student will be charged $ 5.00.
HOME TRIPS: Where feasible, students may go to their own homes for weekends. Permission must be obtained from the dorm monitor, not the office, to leave the campus. Those going home for the weekend may leave after school on Friday, and must return by 9:00 p.m. Sunday, unless permission is granted otherwise. Arrangements must be made with all concerned for any duties, such as work or class program practices, etc. On revival weekends students must return for the Sunday 6:30 p.m. service. When students are scheduled for practices, performances, etc. they should not plan to be gone on that weekend. Students are not given permission to spend weekends or vacations with other students without clearance from the office and written consent from both sets of parents. Written permission from the parent/guardian to the office is required for a student to be approved to travel home for a vacation/weekend in any car other than that of his/her parents or guardians.
WALKS: Students taking walks off the campus must have permission from their dorm monitor. Girls must be accompanied by a faculty or staff member.
Mt. Carmel was established to help students grow academically, physically, socially, and most of all spiritually. To accomplish this, we have established guidelines for student behavior. You are required to sign a discipline contract at the beginning of each school year.
As the student, you are responsible for monitoring and adjusting your own behavior. To assist you in this, we have established a system of consequences that will result when these guidelines are not followed.
Monitoring of student behavior and the issuing of consequences will be done by faculty and staff in three levels of enforcement. On the primary level, teachers and staff will implement consequences for not following guidelines in class, the dorm, or work call. Failure to comply with these consequences will be considered a serious offense and will be dealt with by the principal. Students who fail to monitor and adjust their behavior after being dealt with by a faculty or staff member will be referred to the principal. The principal will also implement a series of consequences for misbehavior. Students who do not manage their behavior after being dealt with by the principal will be referred to the Discipline Committee. The Discipline Committee will deal with major offenses or with students who continually refuse to modify their behavior. The purpose of the Discipline Committee is to assess whether it is profitable for a student to remain at Mt. Carmel. The Discipline Committee will assign demerits as well as consequences for students who are brought before them. Two demerits will result in the student being placed on behavioral probation. Three or more demerits may result in expulsion. Certain offenses are severe enough to result in immediate expulsion by the Discipline Committee.
Consequences will range in severity from warnings to suspension or expulsion. Possible consequences may include writing assignments, morning detention, extra work details, Saturday detention, in-school suspension, or loss of privileges such as attending recreational activities, Saturday town trips, phone privileges, etc.
Students are responsible for monitoring and modifying their own behavior. These consequences are not designed to force you to obey the rules. They are designed to assist you in modifying your behavior. The decision to modify your behavior is one that you will have to make. However, if you do not choose to modify your behavior, it will not be profitable to you or to Mt. Carmel for you to remain a student here.
