Our Discipline Policy

Here at Peace Church, we seek to provide a fun and safe environment for children of all ages. In order to do this, we must abide by certain rules and have established consequences in the event those rules are not followed. It is expected that parent(s)/guardian(s) read this Discipline Policy with their child(ren) and encourage them to abide by the following rules.

1. Follow directions the first time they are given.
2. Talk when it is your time to talk and always in an appropriate, respectful manner.
3. Always respect authority.
4. Be considerate of others’ feelings and belongings.
5. Name-calling, teasing, or the use of any inappropriate language is never acceptable. 6. Keep hands, feet, and objects of any kind to yourself.
7. There will be no hitting, kicking, or fighting.
8. Abide by all safety rules.

Failure to abide by these rules will result in an initial warning depending on the violation followed by these consequences:

1. The first violation will result in a 10 minute "time out" from regular activities.
2. A second violation will result in a conference between the VBS Director and the

parent/guardian.

3. A third violation will result in a conference between the Senior Pastor, VBSDirector, and the parent/guardian and a one-day suspension from the program.

4. In the event of further violation, the participant will be sent home for the remainder of the week.

In addition, the use or possession of illicit drugs, alcohol, or a weapon (or an object wielded as a weapon); or the exhibition of continual defiance, violence, dangerous or inappropriate behavior will result in immediate suspension or removal of the participant from the program. A lack of cooperation on the part of parents(s) may also result in dismissal from the program. Every incident will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and consequences will be determined by the severity of an incident. Suspension will only take place in the most extreme cases and at the discretion of the VBS Director and Senior Pastor.

I (and my child) have read and agree to abide by the above Discipline Policy.
