Behavioral Expectations

All EC students are required to bring a labeled lunch box each day The EC will provide refrigeration for lunch boxes, however we are unable to microwave student lunches For hot items you can send those food items in a thermos labeled with your student’s name

● All students will need a water bottle labeled with their name sent in daily

● PBL/2’s parents will provide a morning snack for their child each day Classroom teachers will give guidance on how to label and where to place it in the room

● The school provides snacks for 3’s/Pre-K students and those staying for extended day (1:30-3:30 pm).

Bib At the EC our daily interactions with staff and families are filtered through the lens of a biblical worldview, meaning we strive to make the Bible the foundation of everything we say and do This is done both intentionally (Chapel, Bible curriculum) and organically (classroom discussion, teaching moments).

Chapel: Each child attends chapel once a week, either Wednesday or Thursday, from 8:45-9:15 am Chapel consists of prayer, worship, a short message that follows The Gospel Project curriculum, and a memory verse. Parents/guardians are welcome to attend. Once chapel begins, late students and/or visitors will be asked to wait at the EC main doors and will be assisted once chapel is over

Holidays and Seasonal Celebrations: In all our special celebrations we want to make Jesus the focus by highlighting our Heavenly Father’s provision, the beauty of His creation, emphasizing the birth of Jesus, Christ’s sacrifice and resurrection and so much more!

Discipline

1 Timothy 4:7b-8

Proverbs 10:17

Dress Code

School-wide Expectations: In order for our students to reach the goal of self-discipline, they must know what is expected from them These expectations are built around the following principles:

● Show proper respect for God

● Be good stewards of property and facilities

● Be kind and respectful to others

● Practice good health and safety

Classroom Discipline Procedures: At TPCS our goal is to disciple each child in a loving, safe environment that focuses on positive reinforcement We may take the following steps in guiding students as they navigate interactions in the classroom:

● Redirection is the standard procedure to discourage inappropriate behavior

● The next step may be removal from the environment and/or time in a calming area until the student is ready to rejoin the class

● Visiting the principal may be necessary to reinforce the expected behavior (we will communicate with parents at this step)

● Any behavior that is considered to be a risk to anyone will be immediately referred to the appropriate administrator

Every action is followed by discussion and prayer about God’s mercy and expectations.

● Clothing should be modest with no weapons or inappropriate symbols

● Dress for messes

● Comfortable shoes, “Gym” shoes

● Open-toed shoes must have a back strap

● Dresses with shorts underneath

● Keep an extra set of socks in your child’s backpack. Socks are needed for the indoor park daily.
