Policies and Guidelines

Mission Statement

Bayside Homeschool Group exists to make a big church feel smaller by creating community for moms, kids, and families who homeschool to grow, learn, serve, and do life together as we seek to glorify Jesus Christ.

Group Guidelines

Bayside Homeschool Group was formed to support homeschooling families at Bayside Church. Events are focused on K-12 students that take place in the greater Roseville area.

This group is 100% volunteer run. All members are required to serve in big or small ways. This might be helping plan an event, taking photos, coming early to set up, or helping with clean up.

Members are expected to follow the Guidelines listed below, and to ensure that their children abide by them as well. Members must interact with one another respectfully, both in person and in our online forum.

For Parents:

· Parents are expected to stay with their children at events, or designate another BHG parent member to supervise.

· Members should be kind and considerate of others, assume the best, and resolve conflict directly with the people involved—no gossip.

· As members of the Bayside Homeschool Group, we represent Bayside Church and Jesus Christ. This means:

o Our behavior and conversations should align with the beliefs of Bayside Church. If you do not agree with these beliefs, we do not ask you to affirm what you do not believe in, but only to not create conflict with the beliefs of Bayside Church. If you have questions, please reach out to the coordinator.

o We affirm a biblical view of marriage and gender given in Genesis 1:28, “God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.” And Genesis 2:24, “That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.” If you disagree with this view, you may reach out to the coordinator with questions. We do not insist that you agree with this view, but we do insist that you refrain from discussing sexuality or gender identity with students at any Bayside Homeschool Group event.

o When we interact with people in the community, businesses, and community establishments, we act with integrity.

o When we use the facilities of Bayside Church, we will be good stewards of our church and leave areas as nice or better than we found them.

· Members are urged to fulfill their commitments to the group and to the events they have RSVPed to. Speakers or field trip docents count on accurate numbers for events.

· We all have different parenting and homeschooling styles, members should refrain from giving unsolicited opinions on these sensitive topics.

· Members are encouraged to offer assistance to any student to help resolve differences or promote safety. If a parent intervenes with a child from another family, please inform that child’s parent of the situation.

· No self-promotion or sales. If you have a business or job that you think could create a learning opportunity or field trip (i.e., cooking class, fire station tour), please reach out to a coordinator.

· Members should discuss activities and events with their children along with expectations. If children become disruptive, parents are responsible for removing them from the activity.

· Parents must review the student guidelines with their children.

For Students:

· Students are any homeschooled children as well as any other non-homeschooled children attending an event or activity.

· Be considerate of others and their belongings.

· Try to get to know other kids. Parents can help.

· Be welcoming to others.

· Follow safety rules.

· No excluding, name-calling, or physical fighting. Resolve conflict with peers safely and respectfully, ask an adult to help.

· Respond respectfully to guidance from other BHG parents. If you do not agree with something another adult has said to you, talk to your parent.

· Students who are disruptive during activities who do not respond to correction will be asked to leave an activity or have their parents called.

Chain of Discipline

All adults working with children in a co-op or chaperoned environment or activity must be livescanned, complete mandated reporter training, and have agreed to these group guidelines.

In a group setting, like a co-op or a chaperoned event, where other parents are in positions of authority, the parents should use the following order of discipline for children under their supervision:
  1. Redirect the student by briefly stating what not to do and emphasizing what you’d like them to do. (i.e. “Please don’t lie on the floor. I’d love to see you finish your story.” “Don’t throw the ball over your head. Can you show me how to pass the ball correctly?” “Stop poking your neighbor. Would you like help with this?”)
  2. Give a warning of the consequence that will take place if the behavior persists. (i.e. “If you continue to poke your neighbor, I will need to call your mom.” “Shouting is disrupting the other students, your mom will need to come get you if you cannot stop shouting.”)
  3. Call parent.

A gentle, but firm tone is sufficient. No raising voices, shouting, or sarcasm directed towards students will be tolerated. Consider how you would like another parent to correct your child.

No adult should use any physical force with a child under supervision unless there is a reasonable concern of severe bodily injury at stake.

Social Media

We all have different opinions on a variety of matters, including how we approach social media. Please give grace and room for the differences of others.

 

Here are some basic guidelines:

· The guidelines above apply to social media in the private group for Bayside Homeschool Group as well as on public platforms.

· Please protect the confidentiality and privacy of group members.

· Ask for permission before sharing event information or photos of other children. Many accounts can be unprotected with private information and photos being accessible to untrusted individuals.

· Resolve conflict in person or over the phone 1:1 with the person you have a disagreement with. This must be attempted before you ask a group leader to assist.

· Any post that violates guidelines may be removed without warning.

· Members may only be added to private group(s) by an approved admin.

 

Thank you for reviewing these guidelines! We are looking forward to a great year. If you have any questions, please get in touch with a coordinator.
