General guidelines for student deportment are presented to the students in a variety of formats including student assemblies, newsletters, announcements, and classroom discussions. Regular review and reinforcement takes place throughout the year. The curriculum emphasizes principles and methods that allows us to accommodate the various abilities, needs, and interests, as well as the differing racial and ethno-cultural backgrounds, of all the students in the community. This is consistent with our school's desire to focus on peaceful conflict resolution and problem-solving strategies for our students. In order to meet the wide-ranging needs of individual students, teachers modify programs within the regular class and consult with school staff and other resource personnel in order to provide appropriate programs.
Special programs support students with specific and exceptional needs.
