As a member of the Stone Hill Learning Center community, I commit myself to following:
Appropriate Speech: I agree to use wholesome, truthful, and constructive speech. I will, in turn, avoid gossip, offensive words and gestures, as well as all unkind and inappropriate communication. The goal of my communication will be to build others up.
Respect for Others: I will treat the SHLC teachers and students with respect. In the case of SHLC teacher, I will recognize their position of leadership and maintain a good attitude about my role as student. In the case of my fellow SHLC students, I will recognize the value of each person as an image-bearer of God. I will avoid disruptive actions and speech so that my fellow students can benefit to the fullest extent from their SHLC studies.
Responsible Stewardship: I understand the difference between community and private property. When I am using community property, I will take care of it, knowing others will use it after me. I will not use another’s private property without that person’s permission.
Affirming Encouragement: My relationships with the other students and staff at SHLC will be characterized by a positive and caring attitude. I will express my opinions without demands, complaints, and criticism. I will not respond to conflict with physical or verbal attacks.
Safety Consciousness: In my dealings with others, I commit myself to protecting them from damage to body or soul. I will also act so as to promote my own health and safety.
Accountability: I understand that I am part of a group. What I do affects how people look at the Stone Hill Learning Center and homeschooling. I will accept the oversight of SHLC leaders, and place myself under their guidance. I am willing to be accountable for my actions at SHLC and lovingly to hold others accountable for their actions. This includes adhering to the usage procedures set by Stone Hill Church of Princeton.
Reconciliation and Restitution: In the event I violate any part of the SHLC code of conduct, I will admit my wrongdoing, seek forgiveness, make adequate restitution, and pursue reconciliation until it is fully accomplished.
Gratitude: I will maintain an attitude of thankfulness and humility, recognizing that learning, working and growing in community is a trust and a privilege.

Because I am part of the Stone Hill Learning Center, I will do the following:
When I talk: I will be kind and courteous in everything I say. I will work on saying things that make others feel happy.
I will be respectful in all that I do: I will treat all SHLC teachers and students with respect. I will respect all adults at SHLC who talk to me or ask me to do something.
I will also take care of things: I will be careful with anything I use or touch at SHLC. I will make sure anything I use is in good condition for someone else and I will put away anything I use. I will ask before I use someone else’s things.
I will be an encouragement: I will be a good friend to every student I meet at SHLC. I will ask politely for things I need, and wait patiently to be answered when I have a question. I will use my words to solve problems in kind ways. I will not hurt anyone with my body or my words.
I will be safe: I will not do anything that is unsafe for myself or others. I will not hurt anyone’s body or their feelings. I will respect any adult who tells me something is unsafe. I will respect any student who tells me I am hurting them.
I will remember that I am part of a group: I am glad that I am part of the Stone Hill Learning Center. I am glad that I can learn how to follow SHLC rules and be a better student. I am grateful I can follow the examples of my teachers.
I will ask for and give forgiveness: I will ask forgiveness when I have done something wrong. I will accept an apology from someone else who has done something to hurt me, and I will tell them I forgive them.
I will be thankful: I am thankful for the time I have at the Learning Center and for the opportunity to learn with other children and my teachers.
I have read (or had read to me) the Stone Hill Learning Center Code of Conduct and agree to abide by its standards.
