OAK RIDGE ELEMENTARY
SCHOOL EXPECTATIONS
Discipline at Oak Ridge School reflects a philosophy of mutual respect between and among adults and children and the belief that effective management of behavior can be based on recognizing and rewarding appropriate behavior. Rules are simple, clear, straightforward, and positively stated. The rules are designed to insure a safe and calm learning environment for all.
The District's Code of Conduct is sent home for review by the students and parents, signed, and returned to the school. The Code of Conduct is more complex and detailed but supports the school discipline efforts.
Consequences are logical and appropriate to the behavior (or pattern of behaviors). Examples included: 'time out' or time away from participation, writing/giving an apology, conferencing with parents, community service to make amends, or loss of privileges.
