School Safety Plan
This section provides
information about the school's comprehensive safety plan.
|
Elmer Wood’s comprehensive Safety Plan includes an active Crisis Response Team that reacts quickly to any and all emergencies. Every staff member has a specific responsibility, whether it is first aide, checking restrooms, or coordinating cross-age “buddies” for additional support for our youngest students. A red emergency folder is clipped to every classroom door with Emergency Procedures for fire, intruder, earthquake, and evacuation. Substitute teachers are provided the folder and informed of their emergency duties upon check-in. Drills are practiced monthly and whole school evacuation is executed yearly. The school grounds are fully fenced with locked gates so the only entry is through the office. All visitors are screened, checked in and out, and must wear a visitor’s pass at all times. Telephones with outside lines are in every classroom and classroom doors may be locked from the inside and have peepholes. |
School Discipline Practices
This section provides
information about the school's efforts to create and maintain a positive
learning environment, including the school's use of disciplinary strategies.
|
Elmer Wood School provides a safe and nurturing environment where every staff member assumes responsibility for every student, insuring a respectful and friendly campus. Students are taught to address conflicts without confrontations and come to understand that every individual has the right to learn in peace. K-Kids are a group of students whose motto is “Serving the Children of the World.” The goal of K-Kids is to build leaders for a better tomorrow. K-Kids invest their time and energy to projects that “give back” to their school and community. They hold monthly meetings during which they organize their monthly community service activities. The Elmer Wood Parent Handbook clearly outlines the school discipline program and positive consequences for students who make good choices: Woodchuck Bucks for acts of unsolicited kindness, Good Guy assemblies, Student of the Month, “Star” tickets for good cafeteria and recess behavior, Academic Awards Assemblies, etc. Students with perfect attendance are recognized monthly with a special “dog tag” for their accomplishments. Classrooms with the highest number of students with perfect attendance are also recognized. Student Success Team is a comprehensive school and community effort providing a systematic method of intervention, prevention, and support for our school and community effort. This group provides a systematic method of support for families who are at risk for, or engaged in, behaviors that are harmful to their emotional, physical, social, or academic well-being. The team consists of primary and intermediate teachers, Resource Specialist, and the site administrator. The child and parent are invited to attend the meeting as well. |
