Attendance and Health Policy

It is our desire that our children get the most out of CHELC activities. This necessitates regular attendance to scheduled classes. However, a sick child does not retain knowledge and is a hindrance to the learning of other students. The following guidelines are to help you decide if your child should attend class or other CHELC functions:

A Child With the Following is Too Sick to Attend:

• Fever over 99.5

• Dry cough - if child is not able to cover without assistance

• Wet cough

• Runny nose - if child is not able to use tissue without assistance

• Nausea/Vomiting - in the last 24 hours

• Any contagious condition you are aware of

• General malaise (doesn't have energy, feels bad)

It is okay to bring a child who feels fine but is:

• On antibiotics (for at least 24 hours) for an infection

• An older child (at least 4th grade) with a mild cold who can keep it to themselves - cover mouth and nose, use tissue without being told or helped

Conduct and Attire Policy

Matthew 22:37-39 "Jesus replied, 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with your entire mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' "

Conduct

We desire for our children to learn in an environment that is wholesome and free from unnecessary distractions. Therefore, we cannot permit the disregard of rules to negatively affect the classroom environment or the activities we participate in, or cause us to lose privileges to meet in a given facility, or to reflect negatively on Christ on whom we represent. We expect children to practice self-discipline, obedience to authority, and Christ-like courtesy and respect of others.

2. Students will do their best to learn what is taught academically and character related.

3. Students will treat their classmates with care, concern, and consideration.
