Eclipse Teen Center

Guidance and Discipline Policy

 

 

The goal of the Eclipse Teen Center is to provide a safe, fun environment for teens where they feel comfortable expressing their individuality.  It is the hope of the Staff that all members treat the Teen Center, fellow teen members, and the Staff with respect and also demonstrate proper behavior.

 

Sometimes, it becomes necessary to deal with inappropriate behavior, quickly, professionally, and in a compassionate manner.

 

The underlying goal of this policy is to reinforce that all behaviors, (appropriate and inappropriate) and their consequences, are in the teen member’s control.

 

  Parents and teens must read, sign, and return this policy with the membership packet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

· Measures should be reasonable and appropriate to a teen’s understanding and need.

· All behavioral infractions will be documented and put in the teen’s membership folder.

· Suspensions include all Club programs.  (ex. YBD Basketball, Club Basketball, YBD Wresting, and Swim Team, and Vacation Programs)

· Continuous inappropriate behavior may result in a permanent removal from the program and revocation of Club membership.

· The Eclipse Teen Center will inform parents of the availability of information and referral for services and shall provide this information on request of parent(s).

When the teen is terminated from the program, it is reviewed by the Chief Professional Officer, Teen Director and Staff, and will be presented to the teen/parent in a manner consistent with the teen’s/parents ability to understand.

 

 

Parental Behavior

 

The following may be reasons for a teen’s termination from a program or Teen Center membership, and will be determined by the Chief Professional Officer and/or Program Director.  Parental inappropriate behavior includes:
