Discipline Plan
Our philosophy in addressing student behaviors is based in restorative practices. We build all our work with students from the following five questions:
- What happened?
- What were you thinking at the time?
- What are you thinking about since it happened?
- Who has been affected by what you have done? Why?
- What do you think you need to do to make things right?
