S.W.A.T. (Stop. Walk and Talk) is the universal system for addressing conflict management among students in our district. This strategy is part of our PBIS philosophy of teaching behavior expectations. It works hand in had with our 3 universal rules: Be Respectful Be Responsible, and Be Safe.

S.W.A.T. is introduced to students early in the year and reviewed through the school year. Posters outlining S.W.A.T. steps are hung in each classroom and reviewed by the classroom teacher.

By using S.W.A.T., the staff will teach all students what to do when others are not being respectful or safe. We also teach what to do if you see someone not being respectful to others and what to do if others say you are being respectful. If a student is hit we teach them to tell an adult right away.
