Consequences

Any child/youth who continues to behave in an unsafe or destructive manner will be offered one of the following options as the leader or RE Staff member feels is appropriate: 

a. The child/youth will be asked to take a brief “time apart” in a corner of the classroom. In a few minutes the teacher will invite the child to rejoin the group with acceptable behavior. 

b. The leader may contact the Family Ministry staff to request that the child or youth help elsewhere in the program for the remainder of the session. 

c. The student will be asked to leave the classroom and join his/her parents in the Sanctuary. An adult will escort the child to the sanctuary to assure their safety. 

d. If a student’s behavior results in injury to another person or damage to property, the student will be asked to make restitution appropriate to the severity of the behavior and the age of the student. The child’s parents and the DRE will be included in this decision
