(6900-T) Using Good Judgement

All of our rules and procedures are intended to create a positive learning environment for individual students and the entire student body. In any case where strictly enforcing the rules detracts from the intent, some alternative enforcement should be found.
All enforcement of rules should be conducted with the intent to help the student develop a good character and moral virtue.
When interacting with students, particular disciplinary interactions, teachers should be conscience of the emotional factor. Teachers should be firm, but not harsh. The tone of a message often overrides the content.
We are the professionals. It is our job to remain in control, provide direction, de-escalate conflict, and set a positive example.
Parents should remain informed and should be involved in finding solutions, especially at home, whenever practical.
