Code of Conduct for CHECK Events
Please contact the event coordinator if you are unable to attend an event you have signed up for or volunteered to assit with.
Arrive on time. Be punctual as a courtesy to all involved.
Dress modestly and appropriately for the occasion.
Parents and children, please listen when someone is speaking to show consideration and respect.
Parents, please stay with your own children whenever possible. Parents are responsible for their children's behavior and safety upon arrival and for the duration of the gathering. Delegate this responsibility to another parent if the group is divided.
Determine if younger children would be out of place at certain activities geared for older children. Certain events might dictate swapping younger children off with another family, or even foregoing attendance out of respect for others. If children are disruptive, please excuse yourself from the group to handle the situation. The even coordinator has the responsibility to ask disruptive families to leave.

Our family has read, discussed, and agrees to abide by the above CHECK guidelines.
