Student Signature Date Parent Signature Date Student Signature Date Student Signature Date Discipline Policy All teachers and assistants will demonstrate love, grace, and helpfulness to all students. However, this does not mean that inappropriate behavior or deliberate defiance will be tolerated. Bullying, negative talk to or about another child, name calling, excluding others, unwholesome talk, or behaving in any way that would cause injury to others are behaviors not allowed in our classrooms or during any co-op event. No public displays of affection including but not limited to touching or discussions of dating will be allowed at co-op. If behavioral issues arise, the following protocol will be used 1. The teacher will address the problem with the student and send home a behavior slip to the parents. If any student causes serious class disruption, he/she will be removed from class that day and taken immediately to the parent. If the parent is not available, the child will be placed in study hall until the parent is located. 2. If the behavior problem persists after parental involvement, the leadership team will be consulted and a parent/student/board conference will be required. The student may be asked not to return to co-op for a season, on a case by case basis. 3. For any behavioral issues beyond the first two measures taken, students will be asked not to return to co-op for the remainder of the year. Any purposeful acts of violence or vandalism will result in immediate expulsion. We do not anticipate having any problems, but in fairness to all we will adhere to this policy. All final decisions will be at the discretion of the leadership. This is not an exhaustive list of desired behavior and co-op members should always be guided by Christ’s Golden Rule: So in everything, do unto others what you would have them do unto you.
