Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Discipline Policy
 




'Love one another as I have loved you.' John 15:12

 

As Catholics, we believe we are called to emulate Jesus in our words and actions. Unfortunately, society teaches our children values very different from our beliefs. We need to provide all our children with a loving, caring and safe environment where rules are followed and they can pray, play and learn more about their faith. To ensure this, all children are expected to adhere to the following:

 


 

Text Box: 1.         NO VIOLENCE OF ANY KIND: NO PUSHING, KICKING, FIGHTING, SNOWBALL FIGHTS, SHOVING, OR HITTING. ALL CHILDREN MUST KEEP THEIR HANDS TO THEMSELVES.  

 


 

Text Box: 2.         NO CURSING, SWEARING OR USE OF FOUL LANGUAGE. Text Box: 3.         VANDALISM OF CHURCH PROPERTY. PARENTS WILL BE ASKED TO PAY FOR REPAIRS.  

 

 

                    

 

 

 

 

 


 

VIOLATION OF ANY OF THE ABOVE THREE RULES WILL RESULT IN YOUR CHILD BEING ASKED TO LEAVE THE FAITH FORMATION PROCESS.

 

                                       'Love your neighbor, as yourself'      Luke 10:27

 

          4.         NO SMOKING ON CHURCH PROPERTY.

 

          5.         NO BEEPERS or CELL PHONES.

 

          6.         NO CHEWING GUM IN THE BUILDING; NO FOOD OR DRINK IN CHAPEL OR CHURCH.

 

          7.         NO HEELYS ALLOWED IN THE BUILDING.

 

          8.         NO WRITING ON ANY SURFACE OTHER THAN PAPER.

 

          9.              ALL CHILDREN ARE EXPECTED TO FOLLOW CATECHISTS' DIRECTIONS, AND BE   RESPECTFUL OF THE CATECHIST, THEMSELVES AND OTHER     
        CHILDREN IN THE ROOM.

 

          10.          ALL CHILDREN ARE EXPECTED TO COME PREPARED. BRING YOUR BOOK, FOLDER, BIBLE (IF YOU HAVE ONE), AND A SHARPENED PENCIL.

 

IF YOUR CHILD IS ASKED TO LEAVE THE ROOM, YOU WILL BE CALLED. IF YOUR CHILD IS ASKED TO LEAVE THE ROOM MORE THAN TWO TIMES, THEY WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE THE FAITH FORMATION PROCESS.

 

ANY CHILD WHO IS ASKED TO LEAVE WILL BE ALLOWED TO RETURN THE FOLLOWING YEAR AND REPEAT THE YEAR.

 

PLEASE DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE IF THEY DO NOT WANT TO COME.

 

THIS POLICY WILL INSURE THAT ALL WHO COME HERE WILL EXPERIENCE A TRUE CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY IN A SAFE, PEACEFUL AND RESPECTFUL ENVIRONMENT.
