© HFAA 2015- 16
HFAA sets the highest of expectations for student behavior and school safety. We expect every student to come to
school prepared to learn and ready to treat themselves and others with respect. Because we care about the physical and
emotional safety of our students, inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated and will result in disciplinary action.
STUDENT CONDUCT AGREEMENT
I understand that I choose my own actions. I also understand that every choice I make has consequences
(positive or negative). With that in mind, I promise:
INITIAL EACH BELOW
EE E
To treat myself, teachers, peers, and school property with respect.
To take responsibility for my own education by arriving at school on time, coming to
class prepared, and completing assignments on time.
To obey classroom rules set by teachers.
To refrain from profanity in speech, personal conduct, and written language.
To settle disputes with my peers respectfully and appropriately.
To not endanger myself or others by bringing any form of weapon, lighters, drugs, alcohol,
or tobacco products to the school grounds.
To refrain from vandalizing or misusing any school property (i.e. books, lockers, bathrooms, etc...).
To keep my hands, feet, and objects to myself at all times.
To participate in activities whenever possible and to maintain a healthy lifestyle by avoiding harmful
substances and behaviors.
To not engage in any form of sexual harassment.
To not participate in secret societies (i.e. gangs or occult activities) on school grounds or at school
sponsored events.
To strive to exhibit behaviors that earn the respect of teachers, peers, and parents.
To follow the HFAA's Dress Code (both in and out of uniform).
To adhere to the Code of Conduct at all school sponsored events and activities whether during or
outside the school day.
To agree to participate in 20 hours of community service per academic year.
My child and I have thoroughly reviewed the HFAA Code of Conduct as listed above. We also understand that
this is only an excerpt from the Student/Parent Handbook. Failure to abide by the Code of Conduct and/or
other rules and policies of Harding Fine Arts Academy can be grounds for disciplinary action up to and
including dismissal, and the cancelation of my child's transfer to HFAA.

By choosing to become a part of the Harding Fine Arts Academy
community I am expecting more from my child's education and their future. I
acknowledge HFAA is a college preparatory high school focusing on an
enriched, liberal arts curriculum. I agree to vigorously support my child in
their pursuits and HFAA in their mission and vision. With this in mind, I
commit:
► To model my expectations by being a positive role model for my child.
► To consistently monitor my child's study habits and the completion of their assignments.
► To monitor my child's gradebook and communicate any concerns with both my child and
his/her teacher(s) before issues become dire.
► To support HFAA's No-Zero Tolerance policy and Academic Intervention by working to hold
my child accountable to the timely completion assignments.
► To make sure my child regularly gets an appropriate amount of sleep each night.
► To ensure my child arrives at school on time.
► To support HFAA's attendance policy of no more than eight (8) total absences per semester
by ensuring my child is at school and in class.
► To support HFAA's Student Handbook, Code of Conduct, and classroom rules set by
individual teachers.
► To enforce daily the student dress code, and to be prepared to pick up my child from school
if there is a violation.
► To personally donate 20 hours of service per year to HFAA through participation in
workdays and other volunteer opportunities.
► To be financially responsible for the restoration of any HFAA property stolen, destroyed or
lost while in the care of my child, and any fees or accounts accrued on my child's behalf.
► To conduct myself in a professional manner with other members of the HFAA community
including teachers, administrators, and other students and parents.

STUDENT APPLICATION ESSAYS
Students applying to Harding Fine Arts Academy must submit three (3) essays with their application.
These essays are NOT used to select students for acceptance, so why are they required? All education is
personal and we at HFAA are very interested in who your child is, their dreams and goals, and at what
level they are academically. Our goal is to challenge your child in the areas they excel and to support
them where they are struggling. Language is a cornerstone to academics. These essays give us insight
into who your child is personally and are used as writing samples for their language arts proficiency.
Each essay is to answer one of the following questions:
Essay #1 What makes a good student?
Essay #2 What does art mean to you?
Essay #3 Why do you want to attend Harding Fine Arts Academy?
STUDENT PLACEMENT AUDITIONS & TESTING:
If your child is selected through the lottery to attend HFAA you will receive an
acceptance letter and information regarding enrollment. Depending on past transcripts
and courses selected, your child may be scheduled for auditions and/or testing for
placement.
Once selected, it is the responsibility of each student to be present for scheduled
placement auditions and/or testing. Missing any of these can affect a student's
enrollment in desired courses. You will be informed of any times you are required to be
present.
