BISHOP VEROT FAMILIES IN ACTION GUIDELINES
1. When a teen activity or party is planned in my home, there will be no drugs, including alcohol, served or brought in.
2. I will be at home and visible throughout a party.
3. If a teen brings alcohol or drugs into my home and/or arrives under the influence of same, I will ask the teen to remain in my home and immediately notify his or her parents requesting further instructions.
4. I will welcome calls from other parents who have concerns or questions when my teen hosts an activity or party at my home.
5. If my teen is going to an activity or party, I will not hesitate to phone the host’s parents to confirm the nature of the party and to address any further questions or concerns I might have about the activity or party.
6. If I go out of town overnight and my teen will be home, I will provide supervision in the form of another responsible adult who will either stay with my son or daughter overnight and/or provide the necessary supervision (to check my home as often as necessary) and be available to my teen for any and all support as needed as if I were home.
7. I will discuss these guidelines with my son and/or daughter.
