Rules & Guidelines:

• Respect other people and their belongings.
• Listen to staff members and do what they ask.
• If someone is bothering you, ask them nicely to stop. If they don’t stop, let a staff member know.

• Always use appropriate language. (No cussing or name calling.)
• Clean up after yourself.

Discipline Policy:

First Offense: Talk to the child and explain the behavior change they need to make.
Second Offense: Explain to the child the rule they have broken. Give them timeout to think about it.
Third Offense: Discussion with the parents.
Other Options: Clean up crew for snack room; writing lines; carrying another student’s backpack if they have disrespected them.

Students who have disagreements with each other are asked to sit and discuss the situation, what they want to do about it and decide how they want to relate to each other the rest of the day.
