Our general policy is to expect children to behave in a way that is not harmful to themselves, to others or to school property. We encourage children to be polite, to use good manners and to respect individual differences. Teachers at White Rock, Narragansett , and Little Falls School worked last year to plan a system for helping children make good choices. This program is designed to help teachers help students to take responsibility for their behavior in the classroom, on the playground, and on the bus. We remind students about good safety and behavior practices during morning meetings.
Children respond well to our encouragement and praise for their good choices.
They also are good at brainstorming solutions when problems occur. We ask that your child not bring boom boxes, matches, jackknives or any sharp object, skateboards, batons, wooden or metal baseball bats, hard balls, real or toy guns, toy ammunition, empty shell casings, and other dangerous items. Tobacco products or any other drugs are considered dangerous items. Those which do appear at school will require an immediate parent conference and can result in a suspension. We have found that playground injuries can result from improper use of equipment.
