Children's Sunday School

What is the discipline policy?

The word discipline comes from the same root as the word disciple, and means to teach.

Secure boundaries = more fun! Kids need secure boundaries to be able to learn. A secure, respectful environment lets us have a lot of fun while we learn!

Rules:  Our rules can be summed up in one word: respect - respect for God, respect for teachers, respect for each other, and respect for property.

Focus on prevention: Catching small misbehaviors before they escalate reduces the number of discipline "problems."

Volunteer training: Solid training in behavior management is provided for volunteers, so that they have a wide range of "tools in their kit" should problems arise.

Experienced supervision: Each service is supervised by one or more experienced teachers, to serve as teacher mentors, and to deal with the rare difficult problem that arises.

Corporal punishment is forbidden, as inappropriate to the role of a volunteer, as is any form of abusive punishment, such as humiliation.

A complete copy of the discipline policy is available to parents on request.
