Bluegrass United Academic Center Electives

 The following expectations/guidelines should be carefully noted and understood by families attending Bluegrass United Electives:

1) The behavior and dress of BUAC students should reflect Biblical standards. The

     meeting of these standards is determined by BUAC Electives leadership. 

2) Students who attend BUAC Electives are expected to be self-disciplined. To that end:

• Students are responsible for attending classes and getting there on time.
• Adult leadership is not responsible for students not in their assigned class or study hall.
• Adult leadership does not monitor when a student leaves or who he/she leaves with.
• Adult leadership does not monitor what is being watched or listened to on electronic devises. Parents with concerns in this area should 1) not allow their students to bring these devices to BUAC and/or 2) be clear with their children about whether they are allowed to use someone else’s computer, listen to their music, etc.

3) Absolute respect for the Ashland Avenue church community, staff and building is

    required. Failure in this area is subject to strong discipline, even dismissal. Among

    the expectations are:

• Students must stay in areas designated for BUAC Electives.
• Students must not harm church property in any manner.
• Students and families should take extra care to be personable, gracious and respectful to Ashland church members and staff.
• Except with special permission, only bottled water is allowed in the classrooms.

4) Students are to be respectful of other students’ private property. This includes all     

    personal items, including food items.

5) All student issues at BUAC are addressed promptly, directly and privately with the

    involved parties only.  

6) Since BUAC Electives is a popular program currently operating with a waiting list,

    BUAC students must respect their placement in the program by:

• Being prompt to classes
• Being consistent in attendance
• Completing all assignments
• Not dropping classes without valid reasons

7) Bluegrass United is committed to building community among high school students.

     To that end:

• BUAC students are strongly encouraged to build friendships among a large number and wide variety of fellow BUAC students.
• “Pairing off” with other students is not allowed.

8) Upkeep and cleaning of the BUAC facility is the responsibility of BUAC students

    and parents.

·        Students shall clean up after themselves at all times. In addition, they are  responsible for assisting with cleanup at the end of the day. Students will be contacted via email when it is their turn to serve on the cleaning crew. It is the responsibility of the student to find a replacement if not available to serve at the assigned time. 

·        Parents shall volunteer at the center at least one, half-day (noon-4:30 p.m.) each year. They will be contacted via email when it is their turn to serve. It is  the responsibility of the parent to find a replacement if not available to serve at the assigned time.

9) BUAC Electives is a one-year program. Students may drop a class, but they

    can not move to a new class or take a study hall during that hour without permission

    from BUAC Electives leadership. Families should keep in mind that study halls

    are very crowded and can not take additional students except under extraordinary

    circumstances.
