Policies:
All Members must signify that they believe the Statement of faith and agree to the policies upon joining this support group.
All Members are actively home schooling at least one child in grades K-12, according to Indiana State Law.
The success of each event depends on participation of parents, such as planning, executing, set-up and clean up.
Participation in support group activities is open to members only unless the Leadership Team has granted prior approval of guests. The member family would be responsible for their guests.
Courtesy to activity organizers is expected by recognizing deadlines, age/grade limits and financial arrangements.
The support group does not carry any insurance for your children. Parents are expected to carry their own insurance. Parents/ participants agree to not hold the support group and/or organizers of activities liable in the event children are injured.
Dues will not be pro-rated.
Member families, who are unable to renew their membership dues because of financial hardship, may request that dues be waived for one year, subject to approval of the Leadership Team.
Moms Meetings are for Moms. Childcare will not be provided. If children attend parent meetings, they must sit quietly with their parents.
We reject the Anti-Christian tenets of secular humanism, including the general theory of evolution; witchcraft; government mandated sex education; government mandated parenting courses; modern feminist ideology; abortion; the promotion of homosexuality as an alternate and acceptable life-style; the use or sale of illegal drugs; or involvement in any illegal activity.
Members who serve as planners will do so by the authorization of the Leadership Team and must be a member of this support group.
Information in the Member’s Directory is CONFIDENTIAL, and is not to be given, sold, or distributed in any way to anyone who is not a member of this support group, nor is the information to be used for soliciting business.
If participating in the enrichment classes or gym, parents are expected to be present and to assist where needed.
During support group activities, it is the parent’s responsibility to ensure that their children’s conduct does not bring liability or reproach to the Arrows from God support group.
If a conflict, misunderstanding, or hurt feelings arise between any members, it is the policy of Arrows to follow the pattern given in Matthew 18 for conflict resolution. Please do not share your offence with uninvolved members. The offended member must seek to resolve the conflict between the two parties. If either party is unsatisfied or resolution cannot be met, they need to seek the assistance of an objective party (typically the Director or other member of the Leadership Team) to mediate. If necessary the conflict will be taken to all members of the Leadership Team to make a final decision in the matter. (Matthew 18; 5:9; Romans 12:18, Ephesians 4:32)
This support group, being a private organization, reserves the right to refuse or terminate membership without explanation.
