Behavior As a school, we are working to design a behavior plan that aligns with our leadership model. We believe that all behavior is communication and we seek to understand every child s individual needs. Teachers will continue to communicate with you on a regular basis regarding your child s behavior. In classrooms, we will use positive reinforcement of expected behaviors and consequences for individual students and is more aligned with our school theme of leadership.
