Discipline Policy
All members of the Edenwold School community are committed to demonstrating our values and working with each other in a respectful and responsible manner. Our Discipline Policy allows us to deal with those times when there has been a demonstrated lack of appropriate behavior. School staff members will work as a team, and with students and families to help them correct any inappropriate behavior. We are committed to implementing Positive Behaviour Interventions and Supports (PBIS) as part of our discipline policy. PBIS is not a program or curriculum, it is a way of "doing business" in schools. It can play a significant role in helping develop a positive culture, which can eventually work itself into the day-to-day operations of the school.
Positive Behavioural Interventions
Edenwold School embraces the development of respectful, kind and responsible citizens as a priority. Prevention creates more positive than negative consequences. Positive school-wide behavioural expectations are defined, taught and encouraged with all students. Positive Behavior interventions are based on the school`s vision, mission and values. The Edenwold School team believes it is important that students understand there are positive consequences for good behaviour. We are committed to implementing Positive Behaviour Interventions and Supports as part of our discipline policy.
- Positive/appropriate behaviours can be reinforced by:
- Staff recognition
- Peer recognition
- A phone call/letter to parent/guardian
- Increased privileges
- Rewards and awards
We view discipline as a learning experience, an opportunity to learn from one's mistakes, make restitution when possible and make correct decisions. Consequences are an integral part of our discipline policy. We attempt to provide consequences for misbehaviour that are logical, related to the offence, and provide an opportunity for restitution. Consequences will always be fair but not necessarily equal. A consequence that is effective and appropriate for one student may be ineffective and inappropriate for another. When students are in doubt about the appropriateness of a particular behaviour we expect them to be guided by common sense, respect, and common courtesy.
EVERY STUDENT SHALL: (based on Education Act)
- Attend school regularly and punctually;
- Bring and effectively manage their supplies and materials that have been provided by the parent/guardian and the school;
- Observe the expectations and rules of school personnel;
- Be attentive, on task, work diligently, respect the right of others to learn, and act in such a way so as to promote an environment conducive to learning;
- Through language and actions, show courtesy for and respect of self, other students and staff as well as personal and school property;
- Follow school conduct regulations;
- Conduct themselves appropriately as representatives of the school during extracurricular activities; and
- Conform to all regulations of the school approved by the Board of Education and/or the principal and submit to such discipline as would be exercised by a kind and judicious parent.
CONSEQUENCES
Staff members at Edenwold School attempt to select consequences that best meet the need of both an individual student and the school as a whole. Depending upon many factors, including the age of the student and the nature of the offence, possible consequences for inappropriate behaviour include the following:
- Reminder of the rule
- A warning with respect to the violation of the rule
- Working in an alternate space for a designated time
- Being spoken to by the principal
- A phone call to the parent/guardian
- Action planning for improved behaviour
- Removal from extra-curricular activities
- Verbal or written plans or agreements
- School or community service (e.g. cleaning)
- Removal of privileges
- In-school suspension
- Out-of-school suspension
Minor offences are dealt with at the discretion of individual team members. Major offences are dealt with at the discretion of school administration.
Bullying and Harassment Policy
Edenwold School is committed to creating a safe and welcoming environment that is free from harassment, bullying and violence for all students, team members, and visitors. To build and maintain a positive and inclusive school environment, Edenwold School values - Kindness, Accountability, Respect, Excellence, and Diversity are taught and expected. There is a focus on school wide and individual class programming intended to educate and promote Timberwolf values and to support a bully and harassment free environment.
Bullying means any form of aggression that is repeatedly directed at an individual or group when there is an imbalance of power, one person having greater power, control or status than the person being victimized.
Harassment means any objectionable conduct, comment or display by a person that is directed at a student and is made on the basis of race, creed, religion, colour, sex, gender, sexual orientation, family status, disability, physical size or weight, age, nationality, ancestry or place of origin, or an act or acts that threaten the health or safety of a student.
All persons should display respect, understanding, and good citizenship towards others. No person should participate in or condone actions that may be regarded as demeaning, derogatory or discriminatory. To build and maintain a bully and harassment-free climate, all team members work to make the school a safe and enjoyable learning environment. Students are encouraged to voice their concerns to any staff member as they arise. Behaviours that are aggressive, negative and intentionally cause anyone harm are taken seriously and will be investigated. On receipt of these concerns, the teacher and/or school administration will investigate the situation.
Investigations may include but are not limited to:
- Conversations with students involved and possible witnesses.
- Completion of the Harassment or Bully Complaint Form to document concerns.
- Collaborative partnership with families to support the growth of involved students. This includes phone calls home to the parent(s) of student(s) that are accused of bullying harassment to inform that allegations have been brought forward and to the parent(s) of the alleged victim(s). Follow-up communication with parent(s) at the conclusion of the investigation.
Students will be held to account for behaviors of this nature. Consequences will vary depending on the nature of the incident (for instance restitution, verbal reprimand, time spent in office, suspensions from school). The involvement of other agencies and/or other PVSD staff such as the Social Worker may be activated.
Note, as per all disciplinary issues, any situations reported are held in confidence and privacy is respected as per PVSD protocol.
