Discovery Program:  A

behavior management program

 that promotes

respect and dignity

in a fine-tuned classroom.

 

     We treat every child with respect and dignity in order to provide an environment that is focused on excelling and learning.  The Discovery Program enables all of us to enjoy our time together and use our class time wisely.  The following are the measures that are taken if choices are disruptive or disrespectful.*

Redirect: A redirect is a verbal warning that requires a student to change a behavior to detour distraction.

Refocus:  A refocus requires a student that has continued  a certain disruptive or disrespectful behavior to fill out a form stating the reason for refocusing and the choice that he/she will make next time to ensure success.

After the fourth refocus:  A child is sent to the principal if this stage is reached. 

*There can be loss of recess, apology letter composed and/or payment of tickets to accompany any course of action.
