Staff Responsibilities
Students who have meaningful relationships with caring adults in the school are less likely to engage in disruptive behavior, be absent, or drop out of school. School staff members should take the initiative in developing positive, meaningful relationships with students.
When disruptive behavior does occur, school staff will use professional discretion when applying these consequences/responses and interventions in a progressive manner, to teach students appropriate behavior and correct any harm that results from their behavior.
Staff will:
Create and promote a positive, supportive, safe, and welcoming school environment that is conducive to teaching and learning.
Be respectful and courteous to students, parents/guardians, and other school staff.
Establish clear expectations for behavior, take an instructional approach to discipline, and acknowledge positive and appropriate conduct by students.
Involve families, students.
