Biblical Conflict Resolution

Whenever people work together, information is necessary. Because we are sinful, disagreements or confusion can happen. Therefore, if a situation involving confusion or a disagreement arises, please follow these guidelines: 

If your child comes home with information that disturbs you, please contact the teacher or the person involved. You need to hear both sides of the story. Call and make an appointment with the person to discuss your concerns. (Matthew 18:15- “If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over.”)

If this meeting does not resolve the situation, request a meeting with that person, and a school official. (Matthew 18:16- “But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.”)

If you wish to address the issue to the administration, call Mr. Blake and state your concern. This step will be allowed only if steps 1 and 2 are followed first. (Matthew 18:17- If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, treat him as would a pagan or tax collector.”)

All policies in the handbook are subject to interpretation and enforcement by teachers and administration.
