State-of-the-art facilities with spacious and luminous classrooms, Atelier, and gymnasium.
Caring, inviting, and supportive learning environment where every child achieves.
The curriculum for our youngest provides the content, skills, and love of exploration in each area of study and at
each grade level, which are all necessary to build fundamental skills without sacrificing creativity or the joy of
learning. At the elementary level, our curriculum promotes academic excellence and scholastic achievement within a
nurturing environment that encourages responsibility. We recognize the individuality of students and acknowledge
that their growth depends on experiences that build emotional, social, physical, and intellectual well-being.

CODE OF CONDUCT
The Herbert Armstrongs Code of Conduct describes how we act and how we treat one another in
the school. Our standards are the values we live by when we are at school and ensure a safe and
secure school setting for the children. The four values are:
We expect ALL students to:
treat everyone with courtesy, respect, and understanding.
treat property and personal belongings of others and school property with courtesy and
respect.
eat or drink only in the prescribed areas, and refrain from chewing gum or littering.
report to school in uniform and stay in proper uniform throughout the day.
comply with school regulations and not bring or use cellular phones during the school
day.
refrain from bringing objects which are hazardous to others or will interfere with school
operations, such as toy guns, knives, hardballs, fireworks, skateboards, etc.
DISCIPLINE
Schools are established for the benefit of all students. The educational purposes of the schools
are accomplished best in a climate of student behavior that is socially acceptable and conducive
to the teaching and learning process. Student behavior that disrupts this process or that infringes
upon the rights of other individuals will not be tolerated. Maintenance of good discipline is
necessary for the effective operation of the total school program. At the Herbert Armstrong
Preparatory Christian School, teachers give careful attention to the emotional, social, physical,
and civic development of students.
Major Violations
Occasionally, the school is faced with more serious disciplinary issues and it is important that
parents and students understand the consequences for the following:
Fighting, disrupting classes, or damaging school or personal property
Conduct seriously endangering the safety of oneself or others physically or emotionally
Theft and vandalism, as well as improper use of Internet and social media
Cheating on tests, examinations, assignments or homework, and the plagiarizing of
material
Bullying
Possession of any object which would be considered a weapon
Disciplinary Actions
A student who violates the policies listed above can expect to be suspended and/or
expelled from school depending on the seriousness of the issue or his/her past infractions. No
student will be expelled from school without an opportunity to present his/her case to the
principal. If, in the opinion of the principal, a violation of school rules meriting expulsion arises,
the matter will be submitted to the School Board for final approval.
SCHOOL POLICY
ATTENDANCE
Regular school attendance is essential. A teacher cannot teach a student who is not
present. The Armstrong Prep school year consists of 190 instructional days. Florida compulsory
school attendance law requires students to be in attendance a minimum of 170 school days and
receive a minimum of 900 hours of instruction (FL Administrative Code 6A-1.09512). Students
who are absent excessively from the instructional program will fall behind in academic
achievement. Excessive school absenteeism can cause unsatisfactory progress, lead to failure and
result in retention. If a student is absent from school, the parents should call the school within 24
hours to report the absence. It is the parents responsibility to make sure they submit a note from
home no later than 3 days after the absence. If the note is received after the 3 days, the absence
will be marked as UNEXCUSED. The following are considered EXCUSED absences:
Student illness
Death in family
Students are expected to take full advantage of their educational opportunity by attending all
classes daily and reporting on time. Unexcused absences may result in poor grades.
Parents must schedule family vacations during the times of the year when school is not in session.
In the event this is not possible, children must obtain their work prior to the absence. Additionally, parents
should schedule doctors appointments after school hours.
Tardiness
It is important for all students to arrive at school ON TIME. When a student arrives late, it
disrupts the entire class. Students are expected to be in class by 8:30 a.m. in K-5th Grades. Any student
not in class will be marked tardy. A student who has any tardies in a grading period will not be eligible to
receive a Perfect Attendance certificate. Students who are frequently tardy because of appointments will
be required to bring a doctors note. Late students should not be dropped off at the front of the school, but
rd
should be walked into the school by an adult to receive a late pass. After the 3 unexcused tardy, a late
fee in the amount of $5.00 will be applied to your account.
Extended Absence
Parents should call the school whenever a child will be absent. In order to keep your child
enrolled, payments should be made IN FULL without fail even in the case of absence due to sickness or
travel. Your childs absence will not constitute a discount in tuition; tuition will be due in full, including
the day(s) missed, in order to continue enrolled.
School begins promptly at 8:30 a.m. (K-5th). The school will open each morning at 7:30 a.m. Students
should be in class and ready to work no later than 5 minutes before the start time. Parents must drop the
student off at the assigned post where school staff will greet them.
At dismissal, students must be picked up at the assigned post. Students are released to only those persons
authorized by the parent/guardian and a form of identification will be required. This is for the safety of your
children. Any change regarding dismissal plans has to be sent in writing or email to the Welcome Center.
During dismissal times, parents may drive up to the carport and have their child brought to them without
having to park the car. A teacher/staff member will bring your child to the carport for you.
Students will not be dismissed between 2:00 3:00 p.m. Parents must obtain approval from the principal if
picking up student before 3:00 p.m.
DRESS CODE
To help create an environment conducive to learning, students are required to wear official school
uniform with the school logo at all times, otherwise they will not be allowed into class unless there is a
valid excuse. Students dress and appearance, along with conduct, have a definite influence on class
discipline and achievement. This policy is designed to permit students to focus their attentions on
academics and on those aspects of their personalities that are truly important. The dress code includes:
DAILY UNIFORM
Armstrong prep polo shirt
Armstrong prep skirt or pants (with black belt)
All-white high socks (K-5th)
Black school flats, preferably Mary Jane Style, or
penny loafers

can wear Armstrong prep turtlenecks, long sleeve polo shirts, cardigans and sweater vests as the
appropriate uniform attire for the cold. Girls may wear white leggings or tights/stockings
underneath their uniforms and socks in colder weather.
th
grades must wear properly fitting uniforms. Uniform shirts will shrink, so you
should purchase them a size or two larger. Shirts should fit generously and not inappropriately tight. The
bottom hem should fall below the waist. Skirts should not be shorter than four fingers above the knee.
Pants should fit generously and be worn at the waist. Skinny, tight, low rise, cropped pants are not
appropriate uniform wear. ALL items should be labeled with your childs name. Uniform items without
names will be placed in the Lost and Found.
Students will be informed when they are not in proper uniform, and they will be asked to correct it for
the following day verbally and in writing. Parents of students who continually fail to adhere to the
Uniform Policy will face disciplinary measures.
FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS POLICY
Registration Fee
Registration Fee is paid once per school year. Fee is non-refundable and will not be prorated.
Tuition Payments
Tuition payments are divided into 10 monthly installments, which must be paid in advance by
using Automatic Payment Deduction. Monthly installments are non-refundable, non-transferable, and will
not be prorated. Parents are responsible for checking their balances. Account balance is due in full
(including days missed, After Care, etc. whenever applicable). In the case that full payment is not
received during the grace period, a late payment penalty will be applied, as per the Payment
Schedule. Failure to make timely payments will result in your childs withdrawal. We are unable to
give refunds.
Returned Checks
There is a $30.00 fee for any check returned unpaid, plus the $30.00 late payment penalty fee.
Sibling Discount
In the case of siblings, one child pays full price. Siblings will receive a 10% discount on
TUITION ONLY. (The discount does not apply to registration, textbooks fee, technology fee, after care,
extracurricular activities, field trips, special events, etc.)
School-To-Home Communication
Communication between home and school is essential and welcome at all times. It is very
important that you check your childs backpack on a daily basis. This is the quickest and most effective
way for the teachers, as well as the administration, to make sure that important information reaches you,
especially since some correspondence requires a timely response from the parents. We also encourage
daily communication via-email.
Please use the student planners or communication folders to speak with your childs teacher. If
you need to contact your childs teacher by phone, please call the Welcome Center at (305) 599-9967. In
order to protect instructional time, phone calls will not be put through to the classrooms during the hours
of 8:00 a.m. - 3:15 p.m. You can leave a message with the Welcome Center and the teacher will return
your call within 24-48 hours.
Parent-Teacher Conferences
Formal parent/teacher conferences facilitate open communication between parents and teachers
regarding students progress. Parents are strongly urged to make a special effort to attend any parentteacher conference scheduled throughout the school year. If parents wish to schedule additional
conferences, they may do so by contacting the teacher directly.
Armstrong prep maintains an open door policy, welcoming parents to visit their childrens
classrooms to see them in action. We do ask that parents notify the Welcome Center upon arriving to the
school for a visit to a classroom so to keep disruptions to a minimum.
Documentation
Children's activities and development are professionally and carefully documented with pictures,
videos, and collections of their work. The pedagogic team analyzes each situation and the materials that
go along with it and write the whole story behind it by documenting both the process and final product.
Children's work is carefully and aesthetically displayed throughout the school in order to give children the
message that their efforts, intentions, and ideas are taken seriously. Documentation of childrens learning
(a) gives possibility to know not only what the children are doing, but also how and why; (b) describes the
process of gathering evidence of childrens learning through observation, work samples, conversations
transcripts, and childrens and teachers reflections; and (c) is an ongoing process that entails discussion,
teacher self-reflection, and portfolio collections. Teachers document childrens work in order to:
share the value of active learning experiences
Student Assessment
The purpose of the assessment process is multidimensional. It provides insights into student
progress in a curriculum and attempts to pinpoint future needs in a curricular area for a learner. It is a
critical tool for ongoing instructional planning. At Herbert Armstrong Preparatory Christian School,
students are assessed in many different ways so we can obtain comprehensive information about students
educational needs, interests, strengths, and learning style preferences. We gather and reflect on the results
from formal and informal assessments, including school grades, standardized tests, quizzes, computerbased exams, documentation, student portfolios, formal observations, student journals and work samples.
Academic grades reflect the students academic progress. Each grade represents the achievement
of the student in the subjects taken during a particular marking period. Progress is measured by attaining a
passing grade in both Semester 1 and Semester 2. Receipt of an F in either semester will result in noncredit and require the student to repeat the semester. Evaluation of student performance will include oral
and written work, in addition to participation in group discussions, investigative projects, research
projects, quizzes, tests, etc. Regular attendance and punctuality, as well as effort and good conduct, help
the student achieve good grades.

Please note an I for Incomplete will be issued only in extenuating circumstances and with the
approval of the principal. Any student receiving an incomplete must submit all make-up work by the
deadline established. Parents will be contacted by telephone at any time during a grading period that a
student is making unsatisfactory progress in scholarship, effort, and/or conduct. At the mid-point of the
nine-week grading period, teachers in each class formulate a progress report for each student. This grade
report will notify the parents/guardians of the present status of the students work and provide comments.
Report Cards: Report Cards are issued approximately one week following the conclusion of each
grading period. However, the final report card will be issued approximately two weeks from the
conclusion of the school year.
Progress Report: Parents/guardians of all students will be notified at any time during a grading period
when it is apparent that the student may fail the course or is doing unsatisfactory work. If a formal
failure notice (progress report) is not sent home by the end of the eighth week of any given grading
period, it is assumed the student is passing the course. Parents will be informed immediately of the
pending failure and the notice will be recorded.
Technology and Computer Use:
We believe technology is a critical tool for preparing students and teachers for lifelong learning
and productive work. As a result, technology is taught within the context of the core curriculum. Internet
access at school is intended solely for educational purposes. The Herbert Armstrong Preparatory Christian
School reserves the right to review all information and exercise censorship control of all documents and
Internet resources on the schools network. Students are expected to abide by the accepted rules and
regulations of computer etiquette. The school has the right to monitor network activity to maintain the
integrity of the network.
Textbook and School Supplies
Textbooks are ordered by the school and parents are charged for the cost of all textbooks for their
children. More information will be available regarding online textbooks through your childs teacher or
by contacting the Welcome Center.

In the eventthat your child shows any of the above symptoms, which are due to chronic, non- infectious
conditions, a Certificate to Return to School, indicating the diagnosis and the date on which the child may
return to school, must be provided to The Herbert Armstrong Preparatory Christian School upon his/her
return. Failure to provide such documentation may result in our turning away your child until such
documentation is provided.
Sending a child with fever to school with an authorization form to dispense fever-reducing
medication is unacceptable. Fever is temperature above 100o Fahrenheit taken rectally or 99o Fahrenheit
taken orally or 38o Celsius. In the case that your child becomes ill while at school, you will be notified
and you will be responsible for picking him/her up IMMEDIATELY. While your child waits to be
picked up, he/she will remain in the clinic. This is very important for the consideration of the other
children, as well as the teachers and staff. If the Fever is higher than 102 and the parents have not arrived
at the school or cannot be reached, the office will call 911.
IMPORTANT: If your child is ill, he/she MUST NOT come to school under ANY circumstance!
The Herbert Armstrong Preparatory Christian School reserves the right to determine whether or not a
child should remain at school when illness is a consideration.
Medication
The school administration and the students teacher must be informed of any prescription
medication that a student is required to take at school. School personnel cannot administer medication. If
child has a prescription medication, the school must receive a written order from the students doctor
and sign our Medication Authorization form.
All medication must be in its original prescription container labeled with the students name,
current date, name of medication and the proper dosage to administer. If it is necessary for the student to
receive non-prescription medication, the parent/guardian must fill out and sign the Medication
Authorization form.
IMPORTANT: We will not administer any drug or medication if these procedures are not
followed.
Allergies
In the case that your child is allergic, the parent should give written notification to the Welcome
Center and the childs teacher. The school serves the children cows milk. Should you prefer that your
child drink another type of milk (soy, goat, rice, etc.), you will need to provide it. If a childs allergy is
severe and requires specific medical instructions in case of an emergency (such as an Epi Pen), it is the
parents responsibility to set up a meeting with the childs teachers in order to give detailed instructions.
Head Lice
In the case that your child is found to have lice, we ask that you please begin treatment
immediately and keep him/her home until you confirm that the lice and/or eggs are all gone. Over-thecounter treatments for lice can be purchased at any local drugstore. If you prefer, your pediatrician may
give you a prescription for treatment, although that is not necessary. As a preventive measure we suggest
that boys hair be kept short and girls wear their hair up at all times. The teacher reserves the right to
remove a child from the class if a childs head is not completely free of lice and/or eggs. Children may
return to school when all traces of eggs and lice have been removed.
Injury/Accident
In the event that your child should suffer an injury or accident while in your care, please notify
your childs teacher and/or the principal. In the event of accidental injuries, we will immediately call the
parents or emergency contact person. If necessary, we will also call the rescue. In the event that the child's
condition requires immediate medical attention, he/she will be transported by ambulance to the nearest
hospital. Should the ambulance leave the school before the childs parent has arrived, a school staff
member will accompany the child until a parent arrives at the hospital.
Special Physical Condition or Socio-Emotional Needs
Parents are responsible for informing the school in writing about any physical condition
determined by the childs doctor, or specific socio-emotional needs, diagnosed or not, that might restrict
the child from fully participating in any given activity. The Herbert Armstrong Preparatory Christian
School will make the required accommodations for the childs special needs. However, if the needs of the
child cannot be met because a special environment is needed and more qualified staff is required to care
for the child, Herbert Armstrong Preparatory Christian School will discuss options and provide guidance
when appropriate. Decisions will be made based on the needs of each individual child.
Meals
This is the moment where the children and teachers have the opportunity to socialize, interact,
share and build a family of friends as well as being exposed to table etiquette. A healthy and wellbalanced hot meal, including milk and fruit, are offered at Herbert Armstrong Preparatory Christian
School. Our lunch menu will be available monthly at the Welcome Center and posted on our website at
www.Armstrongprep.weebly.com. All meals must be paid in advance on a monthly basis. In case that you
decide to bring your childs food from home, please also follow the USDA Meal Guideline included in
your Welcome Admission packet. The guideline will help you create healthy daily menus for your child.
Please DO NOT INCLUDE junk food, soda, candy, nuts, or seafood in your childs daily menu.
There are many children allergic to some of these foods, and children tend to share their
lunch with friends.
In the case of a child who, for religious or other reasons, does not eat certain foods, the
kitchen staff will take that into account and prepare him/her an alternate meal based on
the USDA Meal Guidelines when necessary.
If your child brings food from home, it is the parents responsibility to make sure they
send the special food he/she eats. It is also the parents responsibility to inform the
teacher, as well as the kitchen staff, of the childs needs.
PERSONAL ITEMS
Prohibited Toys and Others
Students may not bring candy, toys, or other non-school related items to school unless
approved by the teacher. The student assumes responsibility for any items brought from home.
Toy weapons are strictly prohibited, and no headphones, radios, games, virtual pets, and Game
Boys are allowed. These will be confiscated and returned only to a parent. Gum is NEVER
allowed in school. Students caught with gum will face disciplinary measures. Please help us keep
our school beautiful!
Cell phone usage by students is strictly prohibited. Students should not bring any cell
phones to school or risk them being confiscated. Parents are instructed to call the schools main
number should they have a need to communicate with their child during school hours.
Lost and Found
The Lost and Found is located at the front receptionist area. Items found should be turned in to
this area immediately. All unclaimed items will be donated to a charity at the end of each semester. Please
label all of your childs belongings with his/her first and last name (e.g., lunch boxes, book bags,
sweaters). If lost items are turned into the Welcome Center, it is easier to get them back to their owners if
they are labeled.
IMPORTANT: Students are encouraged to leave all money and other valuable property at home. The
Herbert Armstrong Preparatory Christian School assumes no responsibility for the loss or theft of such
articles.
SMOKING POLICY
ALL school premises are under the non-smoking rule based on requirements of the Florida Department
of Children and Families. Pursuant to Chapter 386, F.S., smoking is prohibited within the childcare
facility, all outdoor areas, during field trips, and in vehicles when being used to transport children.
AMENDMENTS
The Herbert Armstrong Preparatory Christian School reserves the right to make any amendment to this
Student-Parent Handbook. Such will be distributed in the form of a letter or memorandum.
This booklet lists the Schools rules, for students in The Herbert Armstrong Preparatory Christian School.
The rules apply to all activities occurring on school grounds, on other sites being used for school
activities, and on any vehicles authorized to transport students. Your signature below does not indicate
that you agree or disagree with the rules, but rather that you have reviewed the copy of these rules. Return
this form to school within 3 days from the first day of school or from the date of enrollment. Parents need
to be involved in the education of their children and have the responsibility to:
Know that for school safety, schools are not required to provide supervision more than 30 minutes prior
to the official starting time, nor are they required to provide supervision for more than 30 minutes after
the official closing time unless arranged ahead of time.
Know that for school safety, for students who ride a school bus or transportation, drivers are NOT
permitted to let students off the bus except at the designated stop.
Provide the school with the names of current emergency contact person(s) and/or telephone numbers on
an annual basis and when there are changes.
Notify the school of anything that may affect their childs ability to learn, to attend school regularly, or
to take part in school activities.
Be aware that medicine must be administered in accordance with HAPCS Policy, as may be amended,
and that consequences for transmittal and/or sale or attempted sale of over-the counter medications and
possession and/or use of unauthorized medications. HAPCS Policy outlines the rules regarding over-thecounter and prescription drugs and other Policies outlines the consequences for violating those rules. You
may view the complete health and suspension and/or expulsion policies, as well as all other policies, on
the Web at: www.armstrongprep.weebly.com
Be aware that parents have rights with regard to the privacy and confidentiality of student records that
are maintained by our school.
Neither the Herbert Armstrong Preparatory Christian School nor its employees will be held liable for
items that are prohibited and are lost, stolen, or confiscated; or for wireless communication devices or
other personal technology that are lost, stolen, or confiscated.
Be aware that confiscated items not claimed by the end of the school year will be donated to local
charities.
Recognize that they are responsible for their students behavior on the way to and from
school and at the bus stop. A safe and respectful learning environment is key to academic achievement;
therefore any students off campus actions that seriously affect a students ability to learn or a staff
members ability to teach may be handled as a disciplinary infraction. For serious incidents that occur at
bus stops and/or that are not on School property, parents should contact law enforcement directly. For
bullying incidents (see bullying definition), school officials should be notified and will investigate and/or
provide assistance and intervention, as the principal/designee deems appropriate.
Ensure their child demonstrates legal, ethical and responsible use of technology including networks,
digital tools, the Internet, and software.
Parents will continue to maintain responsibility for students who reach the age of majority, (18 years or
older), for all educational and discipline purposes, with exceptions as provided by statute.
