The H.E.A.R. group exists to support and encourage home school families by providing the opportunity for fellowship, socialization, and information exchange. Membership in the H.E.A.R. group requires that members read, but not necessarily agree with, the H.E.A.R. Statement of Faith. This allows any family, regardless of belief, to be a member of our group. It also ensures that all members are aware of the Biblical basis on which our organization makes its decisions and plans its activities. All H.E.A.R. officers are required to agree with and sign the Statement of Faith in order to serve in a leadership position. We do require that members agree to and abide by the H.E.A.R. Code of Conduct and Dress Code when participating in H.E.A.R. sponsored activities.
Member families will act in such a way that their words and actions promote the unity and encouragement of
fellow H.E.A.R. families.
Member families will avoid gossiping to or about other H.E.A.R. families.
Member families will be responsible for their own children’s behavior to ensure they are acting in accordance
with this code of conduct.
Any members or leaders of the Association that persist in violating this code of conduct are considered to be
conducting themselves in a way that is contrary to the specific and primary purposes of the Association.
The By-laws of H.E.A.R. allow that members may have their membership revoked. In addition, members may be
afforded an opportunity to meet with the H.E.A.R. Board of Directors to attempt to correct any violation of
this code of conduct prior to having their membership revoked.
We believe that the call to modesty comes directly from scripture and honors Christ. Adults and children should dress modestly at any H.E.A.R. function, including field trips. Shorts and skirts should be fingertip length or longer. Shirts should have no bare midriffs or backs, nor spaghetti straps. Clothing should not be sheer and undergarments should not be visible outside of clothing. Clothing should not display inappropriate or suggestive language or designs.
