Additional Questions

1. Tampa Covenant Homeschoolers is committed to being good stewards of the space provided by Tampa Covenant Church. We are also committed to keeping our students safe while they are on campus. To these ends, we have created these guidelines, with input from the church and from our liability insurance company. Membership in Tampa Covenant Homeschoolers is dependent upon adherence to these guidelines.

All students must be supervised at all times, unless moving from one class to another. Do not drop your child off more than 5 minutes before their first class begins. Do not leave your car driver-less in the fire lane in front of church. Park and walk in or remain in your vehicle.
If your child has a break (longer than 5 minutes) between classes, please pick your child up or remain on campus with them until the start of their next class. If your child only needs supervision during the lunch break, you must register your child for Lunch Bunch, regardless of age. If your child has a break between classes, either return to campus to supervise your child, or sign them up for Study Hall for that hour.
A la carte students who are unsupervised during the 5 minute transition from one class to another are required to move directly to class, with no detours other than the bathroom. Students should use the bathroom during the between-class breaks, and not during class.
All students should be made aware of – and will be held accountable to – these guidelines. We reserve the right to require parental supervision for the duration of the school year of any child who does not follow the rules stated here.
Leave every area of the church cleaner and tidier than you found it.
When entering the Sanctuary Building, please move quickly to your classroom. The foyer and hallways have a wonderful echo that the kids (and I!) love. However, church staff is busy at work and the echo and noise make conversation and phone calls difficult for these (amazing!) folks.
Students may bring their technology with them to campus and must follow classroom rules, as stated by the classroom teachers. When NOT in class, students are not to allow someone else to look at their technology, nor are they to look on to someone else's technology. There is to be no sharing screens at any time unless instructed to by a teacher.
At no time should sexuality be discussed between students.
Do not run in the church buildings.
Restrict food and beverage to the Youth Room (upstairs), the Fellowship Hall, and the playground. Clean up after yourself, leaving no trash, mess, or crumbs behind. (The playground is behind the Sanctuary building.) Teachers may allow food and beverages in their classrooms. Without teacher permission in the teacher's classroom, NO FOOD OR BEVERAGES except in the Youth Room, Fellowship Hall, or on the Playground.
Please do not allow children to play in the Courtyard or parking lot. The Courtyard is adjacent to the church office and - much like in the foyer – the noise makes conversation and phone calls difficult for the (fabulous!) church staff. The church has provided benches in the Courtyard for quiet study and fellowship.
Please DO NOT park in the spaces closest to the church on the south end of the parking lot. Those spaces are reserved for Church Staff only. This rule applies Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, from 8 – 3 to ALL CO-OP FAMILIES - even if they are also members or staff of the church. The ONE exception is for those who have a handicapped parking pass.
Parents should arrive to pick their students up a few minutes before their last class of the day ends. We will not leave co-op students unsupervised on the church grounds. If you choose to walk in, please be at the classroom door when class is dismissed. If you choose to park and wait, you should be waiting when your child is dismissed. If we are forced to wait for you to pick up your student, you will be charged for our time.
Do not leave your car unattended in the fire lane in front of church. Park in a parking space and walk in or remain in your vehicle.

I understand that adherance to these guidelines is required for membership in Tampa Covenant Homeschoolers. I have discussed these guidelines with my student/s and we agree to adhere to these guidelines at all times.

2. Tampa Covenant Homeschoolers is committed to providing a community that is physically, socially, and emotionally safe for all students, instructors, and volunteers.

Behavior that is disruptive, disrespectful, and/or destructive is not allowed. Discipline will be administered at the discretion of the instructor and the Board of Tampa Covenant Homeschoolers, and may include:

A student may be reminded of the instructor's rules of behavior during class.
Parent/s of an offending student may be asked to discuss and handle the student's behavior at home.
Parent/s may be required to attend class with the student.
A student may be dropped from the class.
A student's membership in Tampa Covenant Homeschoolers may be suspended or terminated, based on the offense and at the discretion of the Board.
A family's membership in Tampa Covenant Homeschoolers may be suspended or terminated, based on the offense and at the discretion of the Board.

Whether in-person, online, or via email: bullying, teasing, threats, intimidation, stalking, cyberstalking, physical violence, theft, sexual and/or socio and/or religious and/or racial harassment, public or private humiliation, and destruction of property are all offenses for which a student's and/or family's membership at TCH may be immediately suspended or terminated at the discretion of the Board of Tampa Covenant Homeschoolers.

In the case of suspension or termination, a family may request a meeting with the Board, at which all interested parties are invited to be heard. After that meeting, the Board will vote on the matter again and that decision will be final.

I understand that agreement with this discipline policy is for membership in Tampa Covenant Homeschoolers. I have discussed this policy with my student/s and we agree to adhere to this policy at all times.
