One, it focuses on specific behavior which we want to eliminate, and two, we are offering alternatives to the students which allow them to resolve conflict in a positive way. The focus is to provide an improved school environment that will enhance the learning process and allow our children the optimum advantage to excel in their academics.
Students know that if there is a fight between two or more students, the banner comes down.
Students involved in the fight must take the banner down and the following morning place the banner back up for the next day. If a student in the classroom hits, kicks, or shoves in an aggressive manner or says something that is disrespectful, the classroom ribbon is taken down for the day. Gratz Brown Elementary provides a safe environment for our students. The students, staff, and community all benefit.
