So Much That I Could Share…
As I reflected on what I would like to share with you this month there were so many things that came to mind. I had a very hard time narrowing my ideas down to a message that would be a desirable length. Your students have amazed me over and over again during this first term. They are examples of the Spring Creek LEARN tools in so many ways. I have seen them own their behavior as they have participated in what is called restorative practices. We ask students to answer the following questions.
I get the privilege of facilitating these discussions. Sometimes one on one with a student and sometimes in groups that have had something happen between them. I wish that I had a video of the insightful and mature ways students have answered these questions and committed to act differently. Many times the behavior I witness from them exceeds what I see in many adults.
Another experience is the heartfelt apologies that I have received and witnessed. An apology is an interesting act. It is often thought of as the word “sorry” and done. We help the students use the following frame.
The apologies that students have generated are sincere and I have seen them act differently after they go through the process.
The restorative practices that we are implementing have changed the way I feel about challenging behaviors. I have always hoped that I could use mistakes as learning experiences and now we have a consistent process to help students learn what to do when they make mistakes. We all make mistakes and wish we might have handled situations differently. These practices allow us to reflect on our actions and accept the challenge to make it right and choose something different the next time.

As we all know, the design of our parking lot is challenging at best. We really need your help in keeping students and others safe. We ask that you watch for the adults trying to help students cross at the designated crosswalks. You must yield to those in the crosswalks.
Please use the following guidelines as you drop off and pick up your students.
