Dear Families of PVCC,
Angelique and I love what we do. We consider PVCC a ministry and we love to have families come together and homeschool their children. Fundamentally we believe that parents will always be the place to turn when children are having difficulties at the co-op. When we perceive that your child has had a particularly difficult day that we think you should know about, we will inform you so that you can address the situation as you see fit. However, there will be times when the Administration will need to step in and immediately resolve a situation or speak to a child directly. This policy outlines our general approach for how we seek to conflict at PVCC. PVCC will follow this general approach (as may be tailored to the specific situation) during the hours of the co-op when you, as parents, have left your children under the supervision of the co-op.
Definitions:
Administration:
Angelique Newman or Renee Woods (with exception, Vikki Cline when either Renee or Angelique cannot be there)
When a situation has come to our attention, Administration will follow this general procedure, which it may adjust depending upon the particular circumstances:
- Asks the child directly involved to described what happened or how they are feeling
- Asks children who witnessed the event or other kids involved what they witnessed
- Asks adults/tutors what they witnessed overall and what they see everyday in the classroom to gain a feel for what the classroom dynamics are like
- Asks parents what they are hearing/experiencing at home and also what they are seeing on a child’s phone when appropriate.
- Sit in on classes and observe hallways and lunch to observe dynamics.
With this information, we are able to give the parents a high level view of what is occurring or what occurred. Administration will work with parents and tutors to correct the situation and/or put in appropriate boundaries where needed. The PVCC Code of Conduct will then be applied.
Our philosophy is this: Children have their own perspectives about what is happening in their world. Because their brains are not fully developed, their perspectives are not always accurate. They are heavily influenced by insecurities, peer pressure, fear, popularity and what is to be considered “normal” in their eyes. Under stress, kids and adults can perceive things differently than what actually occurred. We have learned over the last 7 years that a high level overview must be taken when a situation develops in order to try and see the whole picture.
