CHAT Procedures

CHAT Discipline Policy

The basis for discipline at CHAT is that we are all working towards instruction in behavior that honors the Lord and respects other people and their possessions. We retain the right to discipline a person for involvement in a situation or possession of an item that has not been previously mentioned. The discipline procedure used will depend on the perceived severity of the offense.

CLASSROOM BEHAVIOR INFRACTIONS DISCIPLINE PROCEDURE
1st offense: Step 1: The student will be reminded of the tutor’s classroom expectations. (The student will be separated from the other students immediately, if deemed necessary.)

Step 2: The tutor will notify the parent of the inappropriate behavior at the end of the day by e-mail.
