It also serves as a model, for our students, of the value of higher education. Classroom Discipline and Climate for Learning WCI has a comprehensive discipline policy that is reviewed annually. Our goal is to provide the students with clear guidelines and expectations that will help us maintain a safe and orderly learning environment. For the 1996-97 school year, the District experienced one expulsion, and 162 incidents of suspensions. A student handbook is provided for every family at the beginning of the school year or upon later enrollment.
All teachers have classroom rules posted.
These rules, along with schoolwide procedures, are reviewed regularly with the students in a variety of ways. Students are provided with various types of recognition for helping to maintain a clean, safe, and positive school environment, Our goal is to create a schoolwide climate that is based on mutual respect and that promotes individual responsibility. The WCI staff members strive to maintain a student-centered, attentive, and supportive environment that addresses the social and emotional needs of the middle school students. The selection and refinement of curriculum at WCI is a serious and ongoing process. Our role at the intermediate school level is to inform, educate, broaden, and prepare students as they move from childhood to becoming young adults.
