School Programs and
Practices that Promote a Positive
Learning Environment
Our school
has developed a schoolwide discipline
plan in accordance with school district
policies and state law. This plan
emphasizes student safety and stresses
the essential concepts of honesty,
human dignity, and mutual respect.
It also consistently imposes immediate,
fair, and logical consequences in
cases of student infractions. Included
in this plan is the use of suspension
as a severe disciplinary action
for specific behaviors cited in
the California Education Code.
 CHARACTER
COUNTS!
is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, nonsectarian
coalition of schools, communities
and nonprofit organizations working
to advance character education by
teaching the Six Pillars of Character:
trustworthiness, respect, responsibility,
fairness, caring and citizenship. TheCharacter Counts!
program is the basis for student
behavior. Students are recognized
for demonstrating good values and
citizenship. Students who excel
academically are recognized each
trimester in schoolwide assemblies.
In addition to providing
our students with a safe and orderly
environment, we also place a strong
emphasis on the recognition of positive
student achievement through special
school assemblies, awards, individual
recognition, and successful participation
in school district and countywide
academic competition.
