A comprehensive School Safety Plan provides a framework for disaster response, emergency procedures, school discipline and safety.  


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.

At Thomas Olaeta Elementary School, we encourage and recognize students who demonstrate the pillars of Character Counts. Students who demonstrate good character are given business cards which are placed in a drawing. A monthly Pizza with the Principal is held for students whose cards are drawn.

We also have a wonderful student council that arranges Spirit Days and organizes charitable fundraisers, such as Jump Rope for Heart (American Heart Association) and Penny Wars (Kops for Kids).
