Code of Conduct & Discipline Guidelines

EAGLES holds to standards that would be pleasing to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We represent EAGLES and ultimately, Jesus Christ in all that we do. Matthew 18 is the standard for conflict resolution within our Christian group. 

Students and adults are expected to:

• clean up after themselves
• use positive and respectful language in all interactions with adults and peers
• do not bear false witness against another child or adult in EAGLES or when reporting incidents
• show respect to adults by listening to them, and following any rules & guidelines that have been given
• not to use tobacco products, alcohol, or illegal drugs
• refrain from public displays of affection (i.e. kissing, excessive contact)
• refrain from physical assault, unwanted touching, name calling, bullying, or other harmful behavior

Parents are responsible for the behavior and safety of their children at all EAGLES functions. There will be no tolerance for physical assault, unwanted touching, name calling, bullying, or other harmful behavior. Parents of misbehaving students will be notified of their child's conduct and the child may be subject to progressive discipline as outlined below. 

Behavior & Discpline Guidelines

Disregard for behavior guidelines may result in any of the following progressive discipline:

• 1^st Violation — Verbal warning to the student or adult
• 2^nd Violation — Verbal warning to student and parent
• 3^rd Violation — The student or adult may be requested to leave the activity
• 4^th Violation — The parents may be requested to accompany their teens and/or tweens to events
• 5^th Violation or Continued — disrespectful behavior may result in the family being asked to leave EAGLES

These are only guidelines, discretion and the severity of the offense will also guide our discpline decisions. EAGLES reserves the right to suspend or remove a student and/or family for serious or violent misconduct without proceeding through the progression identified above when circumstances and the good of EAGLES so require.

For the nine-weeks of classes, you will need to be available at every hour your children are taking classes. Please do NOT schedule doctor, dentist, or work-related appointments during this time. You may not have to work all the hours, but you do need to be available to help at each and every hour that your children are taking classes. We always have absences at every hour that must be filled.

If you have paid the Volunteer Opt-out fee and your children take any co-op classes, you MUST still help with Co-op classes. The Volunteer Opt-out Fee does not excuse a parent from helping with co-op classes. The only opt-out for Co-op classes is to not take any classes.
