ACA IS A CHRISTIAN SCHOOL AND A MINISTRY. WE ARE AWARE THAT THE ENEMY IS TRYING TO ABORT THE COMING OF THE LORD BY DESTROYING OUR YOUTHS THROUGH THE LACK OF EDUCATION. A WASTED MIND IS A TERRIBLE THING. THE LACK OF A GOOD EDUCATION IS ONLY ONE AVENUE THE ENEMY TRIES TO CRIPPLE OUR YOUNG PEOPLE AND THEIR FUTURES. WE CAN NOT ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN. BUT IT IS SO DIFFICULT TO LEARN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH. IT’S THE SAME AS TELLING A MAN TO HAVE FAITH AND NOT GIVING HIM FOOD WHICH HE NEEDS.WE MUST EDUCATE THEM. IN ORDER FOR STUDENTS TO DO THEIR BEST… WELL BALANCED MEALS ARE NEEDED. HOWEVER, ACA IS A PRIVATE ACADEMY AND NEED YOUR HELP. EVEN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS HAVE ISSUES AND PROBLEMS CONCERNING SCHOOL LUNCHES. HELP US FEED THE STUDENTS BY MAKING A DONATION…WE KNOW THE LORD WILL RICHLY BLESS YOU!!!!

WELCOME TO
ASSURANCE CHRISTIAN ACADEMY
Dear Parents:
Welcome to the Assurance Christian Academy family. Your child’s education and spiritual development are important to us and we thank you for placing your trust in us. We believe that your relationship with us will be a rewarding experience.
This handbook explains the rules and regulations that govern our school. Of course, each teacher and activity may have his or her own rules and regulation. Please read this handbook prayerfully and help your child understand its importance. We expect each student to adhere to the rules contained in the handbook. If you have any question about any part of the handbook, please ask any faculty or administrative member.
Assurance Christian Academy is a ministry to local families and as a ministry, we have goals and objectives that can only be fulfilled through implementation of a planned course of study characterized by certain Biblical principals involving parents, students and the staff in united Christian cooperation. You are welcomed to make an appointment to discuss your child’s development and concerns. It is only with a united cooperation that we will be successful in building strong children.
It is our greatest desire to join with you in building an educational environment based on Biblical principals that not only builds Christian character but also augments and strengthens home and church ties. Working with each family, we strive to cultivate each child’s God given strengths, while at the same time minimizing his weaknesses in a positive way.
The Board of Assurance Christian Academy

Statement Of Faith
Assured Christian Academy wishes to convey to you our beliefs and our commitment of Christ. The Word presents God as infinite and eternal, having no beginning and no end. He is creator and sustainer of all things. He is supreme and righteous ruler. He is life and the only source of life.
We believe that the Bible is the infallible Word of God. (II Peter 1:18-21)
God eternally exist as the Father, Son and Holy Ghost and in him dwells the fullness of the Godhead bodily. (II Corinthians 13:14, Col 2:9)
Salvation is through Jesus Christ and him alone, to whom to go to with repentance and obedience. Through Jesus Christ we come into the right relationship to God. Our sins are forgiven and we receive eternal life. (Rom. 10:13, Eph. 2:5-8, St. John 3:16, 16:7-11)
Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God (John 3:16) conceived of the Holy Ghost (Matt. 1:20) and born of a virgin.
Jesus Christ was crucified, buried and was raised from the dead, he ascended to Heaven and is seated on the right hand of the Father as an intercessor, (Acts 2:23-33) and that he makes intercession on our behalf. (Heb. 7:25)
Those that repent and believe should be baptized with water as a symbol of baptism with the Holy Ghost, being cleansed from sin That every true believer receives the Holy Spirit and is baptized into the Body Of Christ at conversion, the Holy Spirit indwells every believer enabling every believer to live a holy lifestyle which is the standard that Christ has for his people. (Acts 2:28, 4:10-12, 8:16, 10-47-48, 19:3-6, Matt.3: 11, Acts 1:4-8, Heb. 12:14).
Honoring God through praise and worship is expected from all true believers, for he is worthy to be praised (Psalm 29:2, 34:1, 149:1,
Divine healing is through Jesus Christ by faith. We minister to those that are broken and of a contrite spirit bringing healing to the total man or woman. (Psalm34: 18)
Faith is important to every true believer, without it, it is impossible to please God. (Heb. 11:6).
We believe and look forward to the return of Jesus Christ in the resurrection of the dead and those of us that remain shall be caught up to meet him in the air to live forever with him. (I Th. 4:16-18, Rev. 22-12-21)

ATTENDANCE POLICY
In accordance with Florida Statute 232.0222 the compulsory attendance of all pupils shall be checked and recorded each school day. Pupils may be counted in attendance only if they are physically present at school or are away from school on a school day and are engaged in an educational activity that constitutes a part of the school approved instructional program for the pupil. The state attendance rule allows a student who has an excused absence to make up the work. A student who accumulates to many unexcused absences will be in violation of the attendance rule and may fail a class or classes. The following are acceptable reasons for student absences:
1. Illness of the student
2. M ajor illness in the immediate family of the student (immediate family is determined as parents, brothers, sister, grandparents, aunts, uncles. Legal guardians or persons in loco parentis or a member of his own household)
3. Death in the immediate family of the student.
4. Absences for trips, doctor or dental appointments or other parental requests as judged appropriate for the student by the principal, provided that the requests are approved 24 hours prior notice.
All other absences from school shall be considered unexcused.
The day following the absence, the student must bring a written excuse signed by the parent or guardian stating the student’s reason for been absent. A note that does not include the reason for the absence will be considered unexcused. The student must provide a doctor’s note for absences of three or more consecutive days.
It will be the student’s responsibility to get and complete any daily work assigned during his/her absence. The amount of time allowed for make-up work will be a maximum equal to twice the length of the absence. For example, two days make-up time for one-day absence; four days make-up time for two days absence, etc. Extra time allowance can only be determined with the teacher’s approval based on need. Failure to make-up work with the teacher’s guidelines will result in a “0” for the work not turned in.
Any tests or projects assigned previous to the student’s absence will be due on the day he /she returns unless discretion designated otherwise. In addition, if a student misses a class but is in school for part of that same day, any work due must be turned in to the teacher even if the student was not present for the class. If a student is going to be absent because of an activity that has been approved in advance, assignments should be obtained from his/her teacher before the absence and will be due on the first day of returning to school.
ARRIVAL
Parents are advised that student should be dropped off and picked up in front of the school. We are always happy to have visitation from the parents, however, if there is a need to visit the school, please make an appointment
Please have your child in class on time. Late arrivals may interrupt class flow and interfere with the learning of others. Excessive or habitual tardiness will result in parent conferences.
SCHOOL AND OFFICE HOURS
Regular office hours are 8:00 p.m. to 3:15 p.m. Monday through Friday. If necessary, later appointments can be arranged through the office. School hours are from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00p.m.
Once a student enters the classroom, they cannot leave without permission for any reason. If a student leaves the classroom or campus without expressed written permission, the student will be suspended for as many days as the principal deems necessary and the parents will be notified.
Parents must not spend time conferencing during morning drop off. Children need to be monitored and directed at this time. If you need to talk to the teacher, please send a note for an appointment.
A person whose name is not listed on the student’s enrollment forms cannot pick up a child without written permission to school personnel by the parent or guardian.
AFTER CARE
Any student who is on the school grounds past 15 minutes after school is dismissed will be admitted to the principals’ office and will be charged $5.00 per 5 minutes increments unless previous arrangements have been made. After school activities do not apply.
EXCESSIVE ABSENCES
It is possible for a student to fail for the year due to excessive absences. For a student to receive credit in any class, his/her total semester absences may not exceed 9. The yearly absences may not exceed 18, after which a note from the doctor will be required. Three unexcused tardies to school will equal one unexcused absence, which will result in a detention for 6th-8th grades). Exceptions apply for unusual circumstances after parental consultation with the Principal or reviewed by the attendance committee. Only excused absences or pre-authorized excused absences will be excluded from the limit. Students must attend at least one-half of a day to receive credit for full attendance for the day.
TARDIES
Students are tardy if they arrive after 9:00a.m. Late students must report to the office for a late slip and then proceed the sanctuary or class. The teacher will determine if the tardy will be excused or unexcused.
Unexcused Tardies
Three unexcused tardies will be recorded as one unexcused absence. If tardies become excessive, a parent conference will be called. Unexcused tardies between classes will result in a demerit.
HALL MONITOR AND HALL PASSES
Students who leave the classroom or are not in their scheduled area must have a hall pass from their teacher. If a student is caught without a pass, a detention may apply. The Hall Monitor is in place to assist students and he/she must be respected at all times. If a student shows disrespect toward the Hall Monitor, the student will be subject to discipline by the principal and a suspension may apply.
ATTENDANCE TO DAILY DEVOTION
Daily devotion attendance is mandatory, every student and teacher is a part of the spiritual influence and training that characterizes ACA. Student will be training in leading devotion by learning how to read scripture, pray and lead praise and worship. Reverence and respect is expected by all attendees.
CHECKING OUT EARLY
It is the responsibility of the school to know the where about of its students. Once students arrive on campus in the morning, they may not leave campus without permission from the office. Therefore, those who must leave the campus for some legitimate reason should bring a note to the school office for approval from the parent or guardian stating the time they are to leave. All students must sign out at the office before leaving the school.
1. Parents should not check students out of school unless it is an unavoidable emergency.
2. Doctor and Dentist appointments should be scheduled after school hours if possible.
3. Our student’s school day is very full. Students stay busy most of the day. Therefore, it is very difficult when a student leaves early to get them caught up. Unexcused early dismissals will result in an unexcused absence and any work missed may not be made up. (See unexcused absences).
4. Students should never be checked out of school for haircuts shopping trips, errands, travel convenience, etc. All such reasons for checking out cannot be excused and carry all the weight of an unexcused absence i.e. ruin perfect attendance, accrue toward maximum allowable absences to receive class credit.) Work cannot be made up.
5. Legitimate reasons for students checking out of school are:
· Legitimate reasons for students checking out of school are:
i. Funeral of close family member
ii. Injury of member of immediate family member
iii. Immediate significant crisis (i.e. student becomes ill at school, etc).
iv. Unavoidable doctor appointments
Notes sent by parents requesting that students be allowed to check out must contain all of the following information:
· Purpose for student checking out (one of the approved purposes)
· Time student will need to check out
· Time student will return or statement that student will not return
· Phone number where parent may be reached that day
· Signature of parent.
Students who present a note to check out which does not meet all of the above criteria will not be allowed to check out on strength of the note alone. The staff person responsible for check out must talk with the student’s parent to determine if the reason for the check out meets the criteria for having the period of absence excused. If it does, the student will be allowed to check out and have the absence excused; if it does not meet the criteria, the student’s parent will be apprised of that fact, and can decide if the check out is desirable in view of its unexcused classification.
Any student leaving campus before dismissal will be suspended for three (3) days or at the principal’s discretion, a letter will be sent to the parents followed by a phone call.
MEDICAL ISSUES POLICIES
Medication
All medicine sent to school MUST be kept in the school office and MUST be administered there. Medicine MUST be in the original container and MUST contain the following information written clearly either on the container or on a note from the parent:
1. Name of the child medication is for
2. Amount of dosage
3. Time and date on which medicine is to be given
Signature of the parent must be on a written note. Medicine cannot be given unless it contains this information written clearly. Oral instructions via telephone for pupils cannot be accepted. The school does not provide paper cups, spoons, or any type of medication (e.g. Tylenol, aspirin, cough drops, etc.) Please enclose medicine and spoon or other applicator in a zip lock bag and inform the office personnel that the child has medicine for the day. She will see that the medicine is refrigerated if necessary.
Special Note: We can accept only well children. If symptoms are observed, your child will be sent home. Symptoms that are cause for keeping your child at home are: a cold, constant coughing, croup, runny nose, open sores, earache, red eyes, pink eye, skin eruptions, sore throat, fever, vomiting and diarrhea.

LUNCH
Students are required to bring a bagged lunch except on days when lunch will be catered. You will be notified when a catered lunch will be provided. Please limit the amount of sugary snacks. Please let the office staff know if your student has food allergies.
You as the parent know the amount of food your student need to function, therefore we ask that you give your child breakfast in the morning BEFORE coming to school. Please do not send your student to school without serving him/her breakfast. Students have a tendency to eat their lunch in the morning and look to the school to provide them with lunch because they were hungry when the came to school. ACA will not provide lunch to students except on those days when lunch will be catered and you will be notified of such days and a nominal fee will be required.
Cafeteria Rules:
1. Be respectful to everyone
2 . Avoid loud talking
3 .No horseplay
4 Clean up all messes
A refrigerator is provided if refrigeration is required. If your student has lunch that requires the use of a microwave, please be sure to provide a microwavable container that is disposable along with proper eating utensils. The school will not be responsible for providing such containers.
DISCIPLINE POLICY – STANDARDS OF CONDUCT
Discipline is important and necessary in order to have a good learning environment. The goal is to help the child develop self-control.
Students at ACA are to behave in an orderly and respectful manner, maintaining Christian standards in courtesy, kindness, language, morality and honesty. Students must agree to strive toward unquestionable character in dress, conduct and attitude. They are expected to refrain from talking about or engaging in cheating, using profanity, telling inappropriate jokes, inappropriate contact between boys and girls, improper visual materials, smoking, gambling, rock music (MP3’s and other devices are not permitted on campus) improper dancing, drinking alcoholic beverages and use of narcotics and tobacco products.
DRUG TESTING
If ACA administration feels that reasonable cause exits, a student will be required to take a drug test after parental notification has been given. Parental permission is not required for this test. Reasonable cause must exist before the administration, in its sole discretion determine that a test is necessary. Reasonable suspicion include but is not limited to:
1 Student has used or possessed drugs
2 Student has taken mood-altering substances (this does not include prescription medication).
3 Student has consumed alcohol during school hours.
The result of the drug test will assist in the final determination. The principal or his/her appointee will make the final decision as to what action will be taken by the school. If the test is found to be positive, the student could face expulsion; also failure to take the drug test may be grounds for expulsion.
Inappropriate Behavior
During school hours, all students are expected to conduct themselves as proper young men and women of standards. Inappropriate behavior such as but not limited to:
1 Fighting
2 Destruction of school property
3 Insubordination and/or direct disobedience of school staff
4 Inappropriate use to school computers
5 Inappropriate jokes, gestures or language
6 Possession of sexually explicit material
7 Distribution of sexually explicit material
8. Inappropriate touching
9 Remarks of a sexual nature
10 Fornication on campus
11 Willing accompanying another student who is involved in inappropriate behavior.
12 Vandalism
After the standards of conduct are explained in each classroom, a simplified understanding of the procedures that may be used in the discipline policy are:
1. Teacher warning
2. Classroom intervention: pray with student, isolation, extra assignment, retraction of privileges
3. Call home – get parents involved
4. Send to the Principal
A first visit the principal’s office may result in only a warning. A second visit usually requires parent involvement on a greater scale. Depending on the infraction, any visit may warrant more severe consequences i.e., parent conference, in-school suspension, suspension, etc. Excessive referrals to the principal’s office may result in a suspension. Expulsion is used as a last resort, unless warranted in extreme violations such as drugs, alcohol, weapons, physical or verbal abuse of another student or staff member.
SPECIAL NOTE: If a student physically laid their hands on a teacher or school facility member, it is considered a felony. If such incidents should happen, the local authorities will be called to the school. Parents will be notified of the occurrence whether an arrest is made or not. Expulsion may be eminent upon principal discretion.
DISCIPLINARY PROBATION
A student that is suspended is automatically on disciplinary probation. Any student that is not making sufficient progress during his/her probation period may be dismissed or asked to withdraw from ACA. Students that are on disciplinary probation will not be permitted to participate on any school sponsored activity such as class trips, etc.
If a student is not in disciplinary probation but considered a “trouble maker or a problem” will not be invited to outside school activities unless a parent accompanies the student at their expense.

Elementary promotion is done on the basis of what parents; teachers and administrators feel is best for each individual student.

Middle School students, grades 6-8 that fail two or more classes will be retained in the grade.

There is to be no writing and no contact paper or book covers that will stick to hardback books. All students are required to write their name in each book assigned to them. All textbooks that are lost, unduly damaged beyond normal wear, defaced or improperly returned must be paid for at retail cost. If payment is not received, the student will not receive their official report card or transcript.
HOMEWORK
If a homework assignment is given, it is expected to be handed in the following day or at the discretion of the teacher. Assignments turned in late will have points deducted unless prior arrangements are made with the teacher. Homework is required as part of the class grade. Therefore points will be deducted for incomplete homework, or homework not done.
EXAMS
<!--[if !supportLists]-->1. <!--[endif]-->Semester exams will be given for all subjects in Middle and High School, including computer bases courses.
<!--[if !supportLists]-->2. <!--[endif]-->Elementary students (1st-5th) will be given final or semester exams when required by curriculum.
<!--[if !supportLists]-->3. <!--[endif]-->Middle school students may be exempt from final exams if they have maintained a 90 average through the 4th grading period. (For non computer based learning)
<!--[if !supportLists]-->4. <!--[endif]-->Approved exemptions will be announced by written notice 2 days prior to the exam date.
<!--[if !supportLists]-->5. <!--[endif]-->Exam schedule will be announced one week prior to exams.
<!--[if !supportLists]-->6. <!--[endif]-->Students on BVS or FLVS will be notified by their online instructors as to when their exams will be.
COMPUTERS
Computers are for coursework only. Students are not allowed on non school related websites during school hours. Such websites include, MySpace.com, etc.
Cyberbullying
ACA is a private school but we adhere to the policy and procedures of the Brevard School District regarding bullying and aggressive behavior. For the District bylaws and policies regarding bullyhing, please go to www.neola..com/brevardco-fl/ or contact the school board.
Harassment - Please see the same website. This behavior will not be tolerated at ACA. Law enforcement will be notified if deemed necessary.
GRADES AND REPORTS
Interim and Report Cards are designed to record academic and conduct grades. They are given every quarter (4 times a year – every 9 weeks) Students will be given one week to have the report card signed and returned to their teacher. For middle school students, failure to do this may result in a 30-minute detention. The loss of a report card will results in a $10.00 fee. During the middle of each grading period, parents will receive an interim report.
Students on BVS and FLVS will receive their reports cards online and you may view them through your guardian account.
ACA's policy is to help the student earn as high a grade possible. Though grades do not really
measure a student's ability to learn. ACA's focus is on the ability. That is why ACA will allow a student to retake any exam, class assignment, or homework as often desired until satisfied with
the mark. However, the time limit is at the end of the year.
GRADING SYSTEM
The grades for all courses will be calculated as indicated below and reported as a letter or numerical grade for grades 1-8. Grades 1-3 use O-N for handwriting, art, music and physical education.

To average semester grades, the teacher doubles the average of each grading period, adds the semester exam grad and divides by five. The teacher may use either numerical averages or letter grades with the following values assigned.
A = 4 points
B = 3 points
C = 2 points
D = 1 point
F = 0 points
Final grades are assigned according to the following scale:
3.50 - 4.0 = A
2.50 - 3.49 = B
1.50 - 2.49 = C
0.50 - 1.49 = D
0.00 - 0.49 = F
HONOR ROLL
Students must maintain all A’s to be on ACA’s Honor Roll Of Excellence. Students must have a 3.5 average with no D’s to be on the Deans List. FLVS (Florida Virtual School) grades are incorporated to determine GPA and grade.
STANDARDIZED TESTING
Standardized testing will be administered twice a year. We use Basic Achievement Skills Inventory (BASI) as our standardized testing tool. The test is approximately 115 minutes long and consists of six times components: Vocabulary, Spelling, Language Mechanics, Reading Comprehension, Math Computation and Math Application.
BASI is organized into four grade specific levels:
Level 1 for grades 3-4
Level 2 for grades 5-6
Level 3 for grades 7-8
Level 4 for grades 9-12
BASI determines a student’s academic strength and weaknesses, measures progress throughout the year or over several years, compares a student’s performance to the national average and place college students.
PSAT tests will be administered at ACA. You will be notified in writing prior to test dates.
DUAL ENROLLMENT
Academic or Vocational
ACA is proud to offer dual enrollment for our high school students. Dual Enrollment offers students the opportunity to earn their Associates Degree or vocation certificate while still in high school. “Dual Enrollment is defined as the enrollment of an eligible secondary student in a postsecondary course creditable toward a career and technical certificate of an associate of arts or baccalaureate degree.” High School credits are awarded for approved dual enrollment courses, successfully completed by a student provided that that following criteria is met:
<!--[if !supportLists]-->1. <!--[endif]-->The course is academic in nature and may be applied toward an academic degree (physical education and college preparatory courses are specially excluded)
<!--[if !supportLists]-->2. <!--[endif]-->The student has demonstrated readiness to engage in postsecondary academic work
<!--[if !supportLists]-->3. <!--[endif]-->The student has been recommended by a counselor to participate
<!--[if !supportLists]-->4. <!--[endif]-->The principal has given prior approval for the student to participate and has approved the specific courses in which the student is enrolled.
Students may take course during regular school hours, after school and during the summer term. Dual Enrollment students do not have to pay for registration, lab fees, matriculation, however they do have to purchase their own books. Students in Dual Enrollment may not drop a course without first obtaining permission from the principal.
EARLY ADMISSION
We encourage all of our Junior students to strive for this. A student in their Junior year may apply for early admission to FIT or BCC provided that their GPA is 3.0 or higher. Early Admission means that the student may attend FIT or BCC in the Senior year in lieu of attending ACA. The is a great opportunity for advancement. Please see the school Administrator for details.
ADVANCE PLACEMENT
What colleges and universities are looking for
“Advance Place (AP) is the enrollment of an eligible secondary student in courses offered by the AP Program administered by the College Board. Course descriptions and course examinations are prepared by the College Board. Examinations are administered at high school sites in May of each year at a fee established by the College Board. Students who successfully complete the course work in an AP course receive credit toward high school graduation. Postsecondary credit for an AP course may be awarded to students who score a minimum of 3 on a 5-point scale on the corresponding AP exam.
Although most colleges and universities grant AP and/or credit to students presenting AP Examination grades of 3 or higher, polices on awarding college credit are the decision of the individual institution.” Please see your ACA administrator for more details.
DISTANCE LEARNING
All high school students at ACA will have the opportunity to take courses on Florida Virtual School (FLVS). FLVS offer fully accredited online courses aligned with Florida’s Sunshine State Requirements. ACA will provide students with access to enroll in these courses and award credit for successful completion of each course. A student may take as many classes as they like with prior approval from the principal. All high school students at ACA are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity.
Equipment and Policy: If a student is taking a class on FLVS and personal equipment is needed, it is the responsibility of the student to purchase it. ACA will not be responsible for purchasing equipment. If the equipment is lost or damaged, ACA will not be responsible.
BRIGHT FUTURES SCHOLARSHIPS
ACA encourages our high school students to strive for this scholarship program. “The Bright Futures Scholarship Program is the umbrella program for three state funded scholarships: Florida Academic Scholars, Florida Medallion Scholars and the Florida Gold Seal Vocational Scholars Awards.
These awards are based on academic achievement and community service earned in grades 9-12.” The Florida Academic Scholars Award requires 75 hours of community service in addition to specific academic requirements. Your ACA administrator will meet with all seniors when it is time for students to apply for this program.
HIGH SCHOOL COURSE PROGRESSION
The goal of ACA is to prepare students for college, therefore, we offer the college track. The subject progressions in the charts below show how a student should progress from grade to grade in order to meet graduation requirements and for entrance into college. Please be aware that Pre-AP, AP and Honor classes will be taken online at FLVS. Electives will be classroom participation and FLVS.
