Parental involvement is vital for our classes to run smoothly and important in creating a strong community.

Volunteer Requirements: Parents of elementary school students are expected to volunteer every Monday. These duties may include, but are not limited to setting up classrooms, cleaning up spaces that we use in the church, teaching classes, and volunteering to assist in the classroom. This may be performed by either parent or by another adult family member such as a grandparent. Families who do not complete their volunteer responsibilities may not be eligible for membership the following year or may be dismissed from CHEB.

Arrival: Parents are expected to arrive on time for our opening ceremony. Parents are also required to stay for the opening and announcements. Parents may leave once students have been dismissed to their classes, unless they are scheduled to volunteer.

Tardiness: Habitual tardiness or tardiness that affects classroom participation is unacceptable and will be counted as an absence. A tardy will be counted if a family is later than 10 minutes after classes begin. After 3 tardies, this will be counted as 1 absence.

Attendance: Attendance is expected each week. We understand that there will be times that you have to miss due to vacations, family emergencies, or sickness. You must contact the Elementary Coordinator and make them aware of any absence in a timely manner. If you miss five or more times during the semester, you will lose your student's enrollment for the following semester and will go to the bottom of the waitlist.

Communication: Parents agree to check emails from CHEB teachers and administrators and respond as necessary in a timely manner. Parents must be available by phone if not staying on campus. Parents will keep CHEB updated in writing on any email, address, phone, or medical changes promptly. Parents will inform the Elementary Coordinator if another family member is dropping off or picking up their student on a given day.

Support for School Policies: Parents understand that by enrolling their child they agree to uphold and support the policies and procedures set forth by CHEB.

Student Code of Conduct: Parents agree to help their child uphold the student code of conduct. Conduct both in and out of class may be considered in determining continued participation in the program
