Student Handbook

(Policy 3241 and 3241P).

The Weyerhaeuser Elementary staff is dedicated to creating and maintaining a positive, productive environment for all students.  Since student behavior and quality learning climate are closely related, we believe it is worth the effort to encourage and reinforce cooperation and responsible behavior from our students.  The students at WES are expected to follow the rules. Playground specific rules are on pages 14-15. At the beginning of the school year, classroom teachers, specialists and playground supervisors will teach our school rules to students, discuss what they look like in every setting within our school (i.e. classroom, hallway, cafeteria, playground, etc.) and provide opportunities for practice.  Each classroom teacher will provide parents with a copy of their classroom discipline plan. Discipline plans are designed to bring about increased recognition and promotion of good behavior. Plans may include a referral to the office as a final step. Consequences will be progressive and may include time out, change of activity, change of location, loss of privileges, in school suspension, out of school suspension, or expulsion.  Parents may be asked to conference with us and /or support us in developing an appropriate plan for greater success.
