General Information
The purpose of this guidelines is to share information concerning Sunday school to it’s students, parents and teachers. The Gospel of Mark records that when people brought little children to Jesus, He took them in His arms, put His hands on them and blessed them (Mark 10:16). It is the teaching body’s desire to bring children to Jesus. These guidelines are set forth to provide a safe and nurturing environment in which we can bring our children to the Saviour.
That is why the leadership has set up the following guidelines to be followed at Sunday school. It is our hope that these policies will serve as a guide for those caring for our precious children and as an encouragement for the parents leaving their children in our care. The Sunday school curriculum is based on Pentecostal doctrines and the children and teachers are encouraged to use the New King James Version (NKJV) Bible for the Bible study.
Behavior Standards: Students will respect all classmates and teachers at all times. Students will participate in all classroom activities according to the teacher’s instructions. Students will demonstrate acceptable Christian behaviour, offering cooperation to teachers, acceptance of classmates, and respect for church property and appropriate reverence for God.
Classroom Etiquette: Students will be informed of classroom rules and be expected to conduct themselves in an age appropriate manner. It is not appropriate for children to bring to Sunday school certain personal possessions: such as electronic devices or toys, toy weapons or other items that can distract others or disrupt the class.
Student Appearance (Dress Code) Our students’ dress must reflect our Christian belief of giving our best to God. It must be consistent with reasonable standards of modesty and decency. 1. Students must wear clothing covering them from the shoulder to below the knee. Dress must be properly fitting (not tight, not too baggy and not sagging) 2. Backless, one shoulder, strapless or thin-strapped shirts, no tight clothing’s / clothing’s with words that display a non- Christian message are not allowed 3. Hair must be clean - have a neat, tidy, well-groomed appearance, and no extreme style. The student will be called and warned about dress code violations. The parents will also be contacted if violations occur.
USE OF GADGETS: Cell phones must be turned off during school hours. Students found talking or ‘messaging’ on their phones will have the devices confiscated, and will be subject to disciplinary action.
