Staff, administrators, students, and parents are working cooperatively together to prevent violence from ever taking place. One fight or one threat is one too many. There are services available to help reduce conflicts among students. Staff are alert to potential student conflicts, and they either find solutions themselves or work with colleagues to find answers. We look for the signs and know how to deal with reducing the potential for violence.
Conflict resolution is the standard.
We want to deal with the problems before the problems lead to poor results such as physical violence. Students need to help us. We expect them to report to staff when one or more of their classmates displays increasing anger toward others. Parents need to help us by reporting to the appropriate staff any family problems creating tension, anger, and conflict. We can t deal with conflicts of which we have no knowledge.
