Player Participation Rules/Code of Conduct and Discipline Policy

​Participants are expected to follow the rules as outlined:

​1. Respect others

1. Wait your turn to speak. 

2. Keep your hands to yourself. 

3. Use helpful language and a respectful tone. 

4. Use inside voice at all times.

3. General Game Session Rules:​

1. Cheating will not be tolerated.  Anyone caught cheating will forfeit their right to play the rest of the game. 

2. If there is a disagreement, players are encouraged to quietly and calmly talk through the incident.  The Supervisor will not mediate unless it becomes escalated, in which case there may be disciplinary actions taken. 

3. All players will have the opportunity to play and not be excluded. If players are unable to come up with a kind way to include others,  the Supervisor may randomly choose who plays at what table and with whom.  Part of agreeing to participate in game sessions is being willing to play with anyone and everyone. 

​

Students who choose not to follow the rules will have the following repercussions:

​

1st offense -STRIKE ONE! Verbal warning from Supervisor.

2nd offense- STRIKE TWO! Student will need to sit away from the group for 10 minutes. If an entire table is being disruptive, then the game will be halted for 10 minutes. 

3rd offense- STRIKE THREE! Student will have a private conversation with the Supervisor and will need to sit away from the group for 20 minutes and parent/guardian will be notified. 

4th offense- Student will be dismissed for the day. Parent/guardian will be notified to pick the student up.  

​

Each week is a clean slate but if a parent/guardian is called to pick up a student twice in 6 months, the student will no longer be allowed to return for the remainder of the school year.
