Code of Conduct

Code of Conduct Presented by: Southern Indiana Homeschool Formal Committee

In order to ensure that everyone knows what will be permitted and discouraged, we have comprised some etiquette rules. We hope this will help ease your fears and address any concerns you may have about what will be expected of you at the event. Serious violations may result in being asked to leave. Let us bring honor to God and our parents/guardians.
     - At the beginning of the evening all attendees will be checked in  as they enter the event. Once you leave the premises, no re-entry will be allowed. No in and outs.  If you absolutely need something from your vehicle a chaperone will be happy to escort you!

     - There are several line dances and group dances planned that will allow friends to dance together and in groups having fun without pressure of intimacy. Proper dance etiquette and behavior require that there will be no body against body dancing, groping, or provocative movements/dirty dancing, and no moshing. Let’s keep it fun and safe.

     - No Dating, “Going-Out”, or boyfriend girlfriend relationships are to be displayed. Refrain from PDA (Public Display of Affection) That includes behaviors like kissing, hand holding, cuddling, girls sitting on boy’s laps or vice versa and extended hugs or embraces. (These are just some examples.) We are here to enjoy ourselves and fellowship with one another. Every family has the right to their own standards and expectations when it comes to dating or courtship. Out of respect for scripture and the various household rules we ask that all guests refrain from this behavior during this event. We should always respect parental authority. Colossians 3:20 and behave the same way in your parent’s absence as you would in their presence. Exodus 20:12

     - Love God and Love others. Mark 12:29-31. Include others in your activities, conversations and games. Makes them feel loved and welcomed. Have fun.

     - You have a right to privacy. Private means private, not shared. This includes not only our bodies but also your thoughts and feelings. Keep conversations honest and loving. Gossiping, secrets and whispering are hurtful and should be avoided. Proverbs 6:16-19
     - You have the right to say NO to anything. Peer Pressure is a very powerful method of persuasion. No one likes to be pressured into doing or saying something. If you feel uncomfortable speak up or find an adult. You’re probably not alone.

     - No smoking, alcohol, drugs. That’s an easy one. =)

We prayerfully believe that all the guests at this event will have a wonderful time and make lasting friendships. It is our hope that this event will become an annual tradition. Your help in making this event a success by respecting the rules and following the code of conduct is a huge step in ensuring future events becomes a reality!
