Upon enrolling a student at Bethany Lutheran School, the parents place the teachers into a position of God's authority over their children. All discipline by parents or teachers must be in keeping with the principles set forth in Scripture. According to Proverbs 23:13 we cannot withhold correction from our children out of love and concern for their spiritual and physical welfare. Parents will be involved with and informed of all major disciplinary actions taken by teachers with their children. Corporal punishment is not used at Bethany in keeping with the laws of the state. The school encourages parents to discipline their children in a Christian manner that promotes the authority of the teachers in the lives of their children. The school strives to be like a solid Christian home where Christ rules supreme in all things.
    A student's behavior outside of school and off grounds can also result in action being taken by the Board of Education and the Board of Elders if a student's behavior is injurious to the mission of the church and school. Students from other schools who come on the Bethany school grounds are also subject to the policies and procedures of Bethany Lutheran School under the direction of the Board of Education.
