* A note from MS. Corcoran....
Dear Westerly Creek Families,
Recently our team of teachers that include our School
Leadership Team began the important work of aligning our school-wide systems to
address negative behavior. An outcome of
our conversations was, updated and aligned refocus forms for grades ECE, K-2,
and 3-5.
As part of our process to address behavior, all Westerly
Creek teachers and staff members use evidence-based best practice to increase
student learning and decrease classroom disruptions. To support students’
ability to maintain focus, we do the following when teaching academics and
behavior:
- Consistently
teach and refer to our school-wide expectations and personal success
factors.
-
Provide students with more praise than correction.
- Talk
to students with respect using positive tone of voice.
- Actively
engage everyone in the class during instruction.
- Use
prompting, redirecting, and positive reinforcement.
-
Provide positive, immediate, frequent, and explicit feedback.
WCE also follows a school-wide system for consequences
outlined below:
- Disruptive Rule Break #1=Documented
Warning
- Disruptive Rule Break
#2=Documented Warning
- Disruptive Rule Break #3= 1st
Refocus Form
When 1st refocus form is
given, student and student families discuss course of action to fix behavior.
- Disruptive Rule Break #4=2nd
Refocus Form
- Disruptive Rule Break #5=3rd
Refocus Form
- Disruptive Rule Break #6=
Formal Meeting with student, family, teacher and admin.
If you have questions about WCE’s Positive Behavior Support
System, please feel free to contact your child’s teacher or administrator. We
look forward to a wonderful year of teaching your child and developing a strong
relationship with families.
Warm Regards,
Jill Corcoran, Principal
Westerly
Creek Elementary School
If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to us. Thank you!
