BEHAVIOR, ATTENDANCE, AND DROP OFF/DISMISSAL POLICIES

Respect for children, their unique personalities, and their feelings are important. We use a system of restorative justice to help students who are struggling with behavior.

As your partner, it is our goal to assist your child in developing self-control and socially acceptable behavior. The classroom teacher and Program Coordinator will keep you informed of any behavioral problems concerning your child. Every effort will be made to resolve any problems that occur.

I understand that with my support, my child must follow all policies and procedures contained within this application and within the LINK Family Handbook. I hereby agree to follow all policies in this application, and I certify that all information in this application is true to the best of my knowledge.
