4. I agree to follow a biblical model for conflict resolution.
5. I acknowledge that instances of sexual misconduct will be promptly reported to local law enforcement.

**Etiquette:**

1. I will make sincere efforts to be punctual, especially for my assigned volunteer positions.
2. I commit to being prepared for my assigned volunteer duties, but also to being flexible when there are needs elsewhere.
3. I will limit cell phone usage during CO-OP hours and will not show children any content without prior approval.
4. I will respect the privacy of shared content within the community and will not share images of others’ children in public forums without parent approval.
5. I understand and agree not to engage in public displays of affection (PDA) – with the exception of married couples.

**Children:**

1. I will ensure that my children understand to listen to all adults’ instructions and promptly obey their instructors. If they do not understand or have reservations about complying, they may ask their parents to speak with KCE leadership to clarify.
2. I agree to learn and adhere to the procedures for addressing issues during class, including the use of the postcard system and parental involvement.
3. I acknowledge that repeated offenses may result in removal from the class, with a focus on collaboration with parents to improve behavior.

**Clothing:**

1. I agree to dress modestly, avoiding attire such as short shorts, low-cut shirts, midriff baring clothing, or excessively tight garments.
2. I understand the importance of considering the presence of both males and females in the building.
3. I will refrain from wearing clothing depicting themes like witchcraft, ghosts and vampires, sinful lifestyles, drugs and alcohol, as well as offensive language, taking into consideration words many families avoid, e.g., stupid, sucks, etc.

**Language:**

1. I commit to using positive and edifying speech (Ephesians 4:29).
2. I understand and agree not to engage in intentional gossip, make sexually charged comments, profanity, or use PG-13 words.

**Soliciting:**

**Banned Items:**

1. I agree to no profanity, drugs, smoking, or vaping in or near the CO-OP building or areas where children are present.
2. Knives, guns, or other “weapon” type material will not be allowed other than for an adult with a concealed carry permit, made aware to the administrator and director of security.

**Allergies:**

**Membership**

1. I will communicate non-related sickness absences to leadership with as much advance notice as possible (2 weeks prior referred).

6. I understand I cannot send children to COOP without an adult volunteer from my family tree without consent. If I send a family member with my children, I understand they need to have a background check, signed code of conduct and belief statement on file with KCE. IF I have  prior approval from admin to send my children with a current COOP family to act as guardian on campus or transport my children, I must have a signed authorized guardian form on file with KCE for those individuals with each incidence of absence.

I understand as a vital member of KCE, I must choose 1 of our 3 work days per school year, and work for at least 2 hours helping with things like: Classroom setup, cleaning surfaces, stocking, organizing and helping with miscellaneous tasks. If my schedule is unable to accommodate a work day event, I will reach out to KCE to find out in what other way I may be able to help.
