Guidelines

SHELTERING BRANCH BAHA'I SCHOOL

Welcome to the Sheltering Branch Bahá'í School and the opportunity to experience Baha'i community life. To help us maintain the spiritual atmosphere and better deepen our knowledge of the Baha'i teachings, we have a number of important rules and guidelines.

Over the years, the Schools Committee has had many discussions about what rules we need and why we need them. Some rules and regulations are mandated for us by the National Spiritual Assembly. Our own criteria for rules are 1) to protect the standards of the Faith, 2) concern for the safety of the children and 3) courtesy to our teaching staff. We have eliminated any rules that do not meet these criteria.

Should any conflicts or problems arise, please contact the coordinator with a request to be put on the agenda for the next committee meeting. Everyone will have an opportunity to evaluate the facilities, classes and activities. Evaluation forms will be distributed on Thursday. Please use them to offer suggestions and ideas for future schools.

We thank you for your prayers and assistance in helping us to make the school a success.
