The purpose of a dean intervention is to encourage students to follow school expectations to find success both in and out of the classroom.  Deans will utilize the handbook as a guide to determine supports for students.

School wide cell phone expectations- 
At Waubonsie Valley, our expectation is that cell phones will not interfere with the learning process. 

In my classroom, this looks like placing your cell phone in pockets at the start of class.

Suggestions for success

•  Assign numbers to students for accountability, not attendance

• Be aware of time at start/end of period

• Cell phones should not leave class for any trip with intent to return (i.e. bathroom)

• Be mindful of pocket placement within classroom and what is put in pockets (i.e. burner phone, phone case only, etc.)

The classroom environment should be a safe space that is conducive to learning. This includes mutual respect between staff, students, and peers. 

Suggestions for success

• Provide structure from bell to bell for students' academic and social-emotional needs

• Be mindful of peer relationships and needs when creating seating charts and edit as necessary

• Exercise the autonomy of YOUR classroom (the power of no, clear expectations, etc.)

Implementation of restorative practice at WVHS looks like communicating respect and promoting dignity

Suggestions for success

• Take the time to build relationships with students

• Leverage those relationships to find a solution

Illegal items/paraphernalia still cannot be displayed

Student handbook language: High School expects that all students will dress in a way that is appropriate for the school day or for any school sponsored event. The school district is responsible for seeing that student attire does not interfere with the health or safety of any student, that student attire does not contribute to a hostile or intimidating atmosphere for any student or staff.
