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
