DISCIPLINE POLICY
At Hope Lutheran Preschool we think of the term “discipline” as the teaching of self-control, Christian attitudes, orderliness, and efficiency. All discipline will be completed in a loving and caring manner with forgiveness rather than punishment as a goal.

Through direct, caring communication with the child, the teacher will explain the expectation of appropriate behavior and coach the child in some alternate behaviors or strategies.

The parent will be contacted regarding prolonged inappropriate behavior that hurts or destroys.

CONFERENCES
Parent-Teacher conferences will be scheduled in the fall and again in the spring. School will not be in session on conference days.
