PEACEBUILDERS

Philosophy:

As PeaceBuilders, it is our goal that the students at Kellond School will be learning and playing in an environment that is safe and positive. We will reach this goal by helping students to become self-disciplined. Self-discipline involves the following:

 

RESILIENCY

Kellond has also adopted the Resiliency Based Program to use with PeaceBuilders.  The Resiliency Program stresses the consideration of each student's strengths instead of the deficit model often used in Special Education.  Our faculty and staff have been trained to follow the Resiliency model.  We have revised our school forms to incorporate student strengths.

Kellond's PeaceBuilders Pledge:

I am a PeaceBuilder, I pledge...

To praise people for the good things they do,

To give up put downs,

To seek wise people,

To notice and speak up about hurts I have

caused to other people, and to right wrongs.

To help others.

I pledge to build peace at Kellond,

at home and in my community

each and every day.

Our three-point plan:

1. Prevention--identification of problem areas that can be taken care of to avoid the problem, by practicing the PeaceBuilders standards.

2. Action--consequence for breaking a school rule.

3. Resolution--teaching the child alternative ways to deal with the problem.

 

Parent Notification:

If your child has been referred to the office and brings home a yellow note to notify you of a problem at school, please take a few minutes to discuss the problem. Sign and return the yellow form the following day. We try not to disturb the parents at work unless it is an emergency or illness. Working together with support from home will result in true understanding, growth and self-discipline for your child. Please call if you have questions or concerns.
