Behavior Philosophy:
ST. RITA ENRICHMENT CENTER FOR
CHILDREN AND OUR SUMMER PROGRAM
is an extension of St. Rita
Catholic Church. We continue the stated philosophy of our
Christian Community to assist
parents and school in educating
our children in a
Christian setting. We consistently teach
our children to maintain a quality of respect
for
themselves as well as others. We must not assume that another
person knows how
we feel or what we need. We encourage our
children to tell others how they feel
in
words. Stop that!, I
don’t like it when..., That makes me feel..., etc. We tell
them to use
their loud
and, sometimes, angry voice, if
necessary, to let another person know that
they are serious.
If that
does
not resolve the problem, the child should
immediately
get an adult person to assist. Our
liability
pertaining to the safety of our children
demands that we teach
them to disagree with words,
not
actions that may hurt them.
A child is NEVER justified in hitting or injuring
another child.
Our behavior goal for the children
is self-discipline. Each child freely chooses one
form
of behavior
over another. He/she must, therefore, learn
to accept the consequences
of that
chosen behavior.
Behavior Policy:
In response to growing concerns
regarding behavior problems, St Rita Enrichment
Center for
Children
has implemented the following policy. This policy
will deal with
minor and major behavior problems
separately.
Please read this policy thoroughly
and discuss it with your
child. You and your child will
be required to sign a
document stating that you will adhere to this policy. This
document must be
turned in within the first two weeks of your
child’s attendance. A new agreement
must be signed at the beginning of each school year.
