HOUSE RULES - pg. 1 MONEY AND BEDTIMES

ALLOWANCES

During school - allowances shall be

$.25 per week through 2nd grade

$1.00 per week 3rd through 6th grades

$5.00 per week in junior high

$10.00 per week in high school

This is not to be spent on candy. It is to provide for most of your needs: Cosmetics, personal grooming, movie tickets (YOU should buy your own ticket when you go out with your aunt, uncle, or friend), school supplies during the year, stamps, Christmas money, some clothing, entertainment.

If you need more money than this, you are expected to earn it.

If family finances get tight, allowances will be lowered as necessary.

BEDTIMES:

School nights:

You must get enough sleep to be able to get up in the morning. In grade school you need 10-11 hours of sleep. An adult needs 8 hours.

Bedtimes are determined by the time you need to get up in the morning.

Students are to stay up no later than:

9 PM - grade school

10 PM - junior high

11 PM - high school

If you can't get up in time for school:

First time - bedtime is moved up 1/2 hour only the next school night.

After that - to be determined

Other nights:

You must get enough sleep to be able to get up by 9 AM or earlier if something is planned.

As a guideline, you can stay up 1 hour later. Two hours if there is a special reason. (TV doesn't qualify. Tape the program.)

If you can't get up in the morning, discipline will be determined by the parents.

Parents can give special permission to stay up later.

BEDTIMES WHEN FRIENDS ARE OVER:

You and your friends may stay up late as above (see other nights), however, others in the family will still want to go to sleep at their regular bedtimes. You will have to be VERY quiet unless you have made special arrangements with the family.
