As part of our Restorative practice this year, we have upgraded our Fix it Ticket this year to cover our minor to midlevel behaviors. On the front side, the adult fills out their observation and on the back the student writes their reflection.

This will help solidify our collaboration between yard staff, teacher and administrators in gathering information, while allowing quick reflections from students in the moment. 

If we conclude a behavior has reached a certain level, our staff may refer a student to Life Skills on Friday afternoons. Led by TOSAs, teachers and admininstrators on our PBIS team, this will space will have student more deeply reflect on their choice and make a plan to demonstrate remorse and repair harm to those impacted.

We ask that all parents are empathetic towards each other and school staff when situations arise. We are all in different stages of our journey toward our full potential. We ask parents not to share with others about incidents that did not impact their students. If your student reports something to you, please reach out to your child’s teacher and let them know. We strongly discourage parents from approaching another family about an incident that happened at school without the school present. 

There may be an incident in which your student witnesses negative behavior. In our circle times, we have practiced the concept of being an “Upstander” or one who does not play along or ignore this, but reports it to an adult. This role is very important to the school as it seeks to keep all students safe. If your student makes a report you may be called by the teacher or administrator for a follow up. We should celebrate your students’ bravery in this. We appreciate your support!
