Disciplinary Policies:

If a child is behaving inappropriately the following actions will be taken:

  1. The teacher will escort the child to the Sunday School Superintendent or the T.G.I.W. director. After briefly describing the inappropriate behavior, the teacher will return to class. The Sunday School Superintendent or T.G.I.W. director and the parent will together decide the next course ofaction, such as:
    The child and the parent will return to the child’s class for the remainder of the class.
    The child will remain with the parent and may return to class the following week.
  2. If a parent is not present the director/superintendent will either contact the parent immediately (depending on the severity of the situation) or will contact the parent after class either in person or with a phone call. Meanwhile, at the discretion of the teacher and supervisor/director, the child will either remain with the director or return to class.
  3. These guidelines and policies are set with your child’s safety and well-being in mind.

Parents are required to sign this agreement for each of their children and return it to class with a phone number they can be reached.
