Educational Support (AVID, etc.)

If there is concern about a student's progress, reach out to the student's teacher(s) first and consult their counselor. The counselor can set up a Student Study Team (SST) meeting if the student is performing below average, if needed, to discuss appropriate supports for their student.

Restorative Justice

Restorative justice is a creative approach to justice that focuses on offenders taking responsibility for their actions. Any victims involved may also take part to help with the process of repairing any harm that may have been done.

Restorative justice encourages students to think about their errors and how they can improve upon their future actions.

See more info and the form to request conflict resolution or mediation.
