Homeschooling co-op code of conduct

Purpose: To create a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment for all families participating in the co-op.

1. Respectful Communication: All members are expected to communicate with kindness and respect. Disagreements should be approached with an open mind and a willingness to understand different perspectives.

2. Inclusivity: The co-op welcomes families from diverse backgrounds and beliefs. Discrimination based on race, religion, or ability is not tolerated.

3. Participation: Families are encouraged to actively participate in co-op activities, whether by leading sessions, assisting with organization, or contributing ideas.

4. Attendance: Regular attendance is important for the success of the co-op. If a family cannot attend, they should inform the group in advance when possible.

5. Supervision: Parents or guardians must supervise their children at all times during co-op hours. It is the responsibility of each family to ensure their child behaves appropriately.

6. Safety: Safety is a priority. All members must follow safety guidelines and report any hazardous conditions or incidents to the organizers immediately.

7. Cleanliness: Since food will not be provided, families are responsible for cleanup after their activities. Please leave the space as you found it.

8. Respect for Property: Treat all materials, equipment, and the venue with respect. Any damage caused must be reported to the co-op organizers.

9. Conflict Resolution: If conflicts arise, they should be addressed calmly and respectfully. If necessary, a designated mediator from the co-op may assist in resolving the issue.

10. Feedback: Constructive feedback is welcome. Members are encouraged to share thoughts on how to improve the co-op experience.

11. Commitment to Co-op Values: By participating in this co-op, families agree to uphold these principles and contribute positively to the community.
