If a child displays a minor problematic behavior which does not follow our expectations, the child is given a redirect. This is simply our way of redirecting a student’s attention to appropriate behaviors, hence the term “redirect”. The purpose behind this is to give that child the power over his/her behavior in order to take measures to correct it when inappropriate. Occasionally, a second redirect is needed if change hasn’t occurred.
Upon the third redirect, the office will be alerted to this child’s repeated problematic behavior, otherwise known as an Office Discipline Referral (ODR). This is now tagged as a minor escalation of problem behavior.
In the event this escalates past a fifth redirect, parents will be notified by the administration via a written document sent home with the child to be signed as well as a phone call or message through our messaging system. This subsequently is termed as a major escalation of problem behavior.
*If an initial behavior is severe, it immediately escalates to a major status.
