Behaviour Support / Interventions

Prior to making a decision, issues of a minor nature will be handled “on the spot” by a staff member. In keeping with our plan, behaviour interventions should be logical and natural in consequence.

Behaviour interventions may include:

• Time Outs - sometimes a student becomes too upset, agitated or disruptive to function successfully in the school setting. In such situations, the student may receive a “time out” in the office. This allows the student time to calm down and regain self-control before attempting to resolve the issue with a staff member.
• Problem solving Think Sheets
• Temporary loss of privilege
• Service to the school
• Teacher/Student/Parent Conferences
• Teacher/Student/Parent/Administration Conferences
• In-school suspensions and out-of-school suspensions

The Calgary Board of Education has passed policy that provides for suspension for the following reasons:

• use, possession of or active contact with weapons
• threats, which in the judgment of the Principal, endanger others
• obscene or abusive language
• theft
• assault causing harm
• vandalism
• use, possession of, distribution, active contact with drugs or alcohol
• personal or sexual harassment
• extortion
• disruptive behaviour
• defiance of authority
• involvement in or association with gang related criminal activity
• other criminal activity
