Student Awareness and Safety

Please be sure to talk to your children and youth and give them limits about leaving campus.  PSHP is not a closed campus.  Some youth walk to a nearby restaurant to get lunch, etc.  This is fine as long as the parents have given permission for that to happen.  Please be very specific, if you as their parents, allow them to walk off the Asbury property or be driven by anyone else, and whether that is an adult driver or a student driver.  The Asbury neighborhood is not as safe as it once was.  PSHP is concerned for the safety of all of our students and families.  We have safety people assigned that are always at the entrance to the Sanctuary and in the parking lot.  Please feel free to talk to any of them if you have any concerns.  Thank you to our Safety Team!!

ITEMS TO MENTION TO ALL STUDENTS AND PARENTS

2. Please show respect to all of the adults on Friday.  We have hall monitors that help keep order in the hallways and kitchen for when students are not in class.  These adults are a huge blessing to those of us that are teaching.  Please be respectful when you are reminded to do something.
3. Please be considerate of others if you are sick and review the sickness policy.  Please don’t attend classes or volunteer if you have had a fever or contagious illness in the last 24 hours.  Thank you for your consideration as we don’t want to share our germs and we have many with compromised immune systems.
4. Please recycle soda cans in the container by the soda machines.
5. Please don’t use the doorbell on the south doors by the office.  That is for the office only when the office doors are locked during the week
6. PLEASE tell your female family members that NO Feminine Products are allowed to be flushed in the Asbury toilets please.
7. Just a reminder that Asbury is a no nut church, so PSHP should not have anything with nuts.
8. Just a reminder that no children should be left unattended at Asbury when they are not in class if they are 12 and younger.  An older sibling that is at least 15, may be responsible for the younger sibling, if the older sibling is not in class at the time.
