We, the CCHE Board, have been diligently working together to create rules and guidelines that provide a safe environment for our middle school and high school (MS/HS) activities and events.
1. PARENT AND GUARDIAN SUPERVISION
A parent/guardian is responsible for their own teen and must stay with them at CCHE activities unless otherwise specified.
A guardian must be an appropriate, responsible adult who is 21 years of age or older. The guardian must remain with the teen throughout all CCHE activities and events, take responsibility for the teen, and treat them as their own. Before attending events or activities, the code of conduct needs to be signed and turned in to a board member.
2. ARRIVAL, DEPARTURE, AND EVENT BOUNDARIES
Teens may not leave an activity or event without their parent/guardian. If a teen leaves the premises without adult supervision, they will not be allowed to return. Boundaries for each activity or event will be established and must be followed by all teens in attendance.
Example: Teens may hang out only in the main room where parents and/or guardians are present. Teens may not disappear into another room, go outside, or leave the event boundaries without a parent or guardian.
Teens who do not follow these rules will be requested to leave promptly with a parent/guardian.
3. RESPECT, CONDUCT, AND PERSONAL BOUNDARIES
Public displays of affection are inappropriate at all CCHE functions. Teens are expected to respect everyone’s personal space, including people who are in relationships. Please refrain from public displays of affection.
For everyone’s safety and well-being, each activity and event has physical boundaries. Everyone must remain within those boundaries.
Teens, parents, and guardians must treat one another respectfully at all times. If anyone causes trouble or is disrespectful in any way, the CCHE Board will take appropriate action.
Example: Show respect for everyone through your actions and words. Making fun of others, gossiping, or putting others down is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.
4. FACILITIES AND GENERAL EXPECTATIONS
Respect the facilities. Facility rules apply at all times. We represent the CCHE homeschool group, so please set a positive example.
Obscene language and inappropriate conversations are not permitted. CCHE is a Christian group, and members are expected to uphold its values and morals.
No drugs, alcohol, or tobacco. If a teen is found with any of these items, the items will be confiscated, and the teen will immediately be dismissed with a parent/chaperone.
No weapons. Anyone found with a weapon will be asked to leave the premises promptly.
Keep a positive attitude. Remember that we are ambassadors for Christ, and our actions and words can set either a good or bad example.
5. DRESS CODE
Everyone is expected to dress appropriately at all CCHE activities and events.
• No short shirts, shorts, or dresses.
• Clothing, accessories, hats, bags, shirts, and other items may not display vulgar sayings or inappropriate images. • Dress modestly and respectfully, in a way that is appropriate for a family-friendly environment.

CCHE Elementary Guidelines & Expectations:
1. Safety is of utmost importance. In order to maintain the safest environment possible, parents should stay with their children, unless other arrangements have been made for the supervision of your child. Parents, or a designated supervisor of your children, are responsible for their own children and are expected to be aware of and handle any issues that may occur.
2. Along with safety, we also strive to have a fun and enjoyable environment. Verbal and/or physical harm will not be tolerated. We, as adults, need to model acceptable behavior and problem solving skills. Be respectful and receptive to any parent who may come to you about an issue concerning your children. If issues happen to occur and cannot be worked out peacefully, parties may be asked to leave the event.
3. CCHE events are not only a fun and social event for children, but parents as well. Please be mindful of the topics you are discussing, as little ears are everywhere. If a conflict between parents occurs and cannot be resolved peacefully, parties involved may be asked to leave.
4. The facilities CCHE uses are not our own, they are being graciously shared with us. As a thank you for their generosity, we need to respect the rules of any facility used and make sure we are cleaning up after ourselves. Let's strive to leave any facility in better condition than when we arrived as a token of our appreciation!
5. Each family that is a part of CCHE, as well those who are not, is unique in their way of educating their children. Please be respectful of each other’s differences and approaches, as each family is doing what bests fits their family.
