Additional Questions

1. SHN GENERAL RULES:

We agree to be respectful to other SHN members. This rule applies to adults and children, and includes events, activities, and social media. Bullying of any kind (name-calling, physical violence, gossiping, etc.) will not be tolerated. In the event of inappropriate behavior, the offender will be submitted to the Director for review.

We agree to attend SHN events with our children. We understand that SHN is a family organization and we are not allowed to leave or drop off our child at SHN activities unless otherwise noted. You are welcome to make prior arrangements with another parent who will be responsible for your child in your absence. SHN Leaders and Team Moms cannot be responsible for another member’s child.

We agree to attend SHN events when we RSVP. Organizing field trips, classes, events, and activities takes time and energy for the administrators as well as the event managers. We will contact the administrator in a timely manner in the event we are unable to attend. If a member no shows, cancels in less than 24 hours prior to the event or is late more than 3 times, the member will receive a warning. Excessive no shows, less than 24 hour cancellations and lateness could result in suspension from attending SHN activities or membership removal.

We agree to not bring Tree Nut or Peanut containing products to any SHN events or activities. We have several members with severe, life-threatening allergies to peanuts and Tree Nuts. Products containing peanuts and Tree Nuts are NOT allowed at any Social Homeschoolers Network events, playdates, field trips, or activities. We are a Nut Free group.

We agree to be illness free for at least 48 hours before attending any SHN events or activities. Children and parents must be fever (even low-grade fever) free before attending a Social Homeschoolers Network activity for at least 48 hours. We also ask that you have been free of the following symptoms for 48 hours before attending: vomiting, diarrhea, skin infections, rashes, signs of infectious illness, and on-going cough. **Due to the current circumstances, we ask that family members do not attend if anyone in your household has displayed any of the above symptoms. If you have been exposed to COVID-19, please do not attend.

We agree to respect the facilities and venues SHN uses. Members are not allowed to contact the facilities SHN uses, Field Trip Hosts, Playdate Hosts, Teachers, Partners or other event Hosts for any reason. If you have questions or concerns, please contact the Social Homeschoolers Network group director. Student members are NOT allowed inside or outside the building, or in restricted areas without adult supervision. Please be mindful of the facilities SHN uses and event hosts grounds; do not walk in flower beds, do not pick flowers or plants, do not hang on or climb any fixtures inside or outside the facilities, etc.

We understand that SHN is not responsible for the information provided by our speakers, teachers or field trip hosts. All of our events are at your own discretion. Use your best judgement on what field trips, classes, events, or workshops you attend and participate in. Any complaints should be brought to the Social Homeschoolers Networks Director. Complaints should not be made to the speaker or field trip host.

We understand that events may be canceled. If area public schools are closed due to weather, Social Homeschoolers Network may cancel as well. Social Homeschoolers Network may cancel an event for various reasons even when public schools are not canceled. Cancellations will be sent out via e-mail and text message. It is your responsibility to check to see if an event is canceled ahead of time.

We understand that there is a NO Refund policy. We understand that both the SHN enrollment and SHN membership fee is non-refundable and non-transferable regardless of my participation and attendance. We understand that SHN reserves the right to decline a membership without reason or notice.

We understand that SHN events are for members. Our events and activities are for members of the Social Homeschoolers Network. Out-of-state guests and family members are welcome to attend as a guest with a SHN member to “Guest approved events.” Guest approved events include Field Trips (as long as the guest attending does not cause a member to miss out by filling a spot that could otherwise be used by a SHN member), Playdates and Social Days. Guests are not allowed to attend Academy Days or Small Groups. Before bringing an approved guest to an event, please make sure the event is a “Guest approved event” with prior approval by emailing [email protected] Ongoing attendees such as children whom you babysit or bring on a regular basis will be required to pay an Enrollment fee and turn in completed paperwork. They will not need to pay the Membership fee as long as they are attending with a SHN member who is paying or has paid the tuition fee.
