Power PD: Classroom Behavior Supports
Mr. Rozycki (our Rowan University PIR) will be focusing on supporting student behavior and what we can do to avoid sending kids out of the classroom. We will also talk about how to support each other's social-emotional well-being when days are tough. This way we're equipped to rebound & provide our students with the best version of ourselves!

The Principal's POV on...our Hacking School Discipline PLC!
Creating responsibility, repairing the harm, righting the wrong & building relationships. This has been the backbone of my approach to school discipline from day one...and it's the backbone of this text! Is is a quick fix? No, but are there any quick fixes as we work to meet student needs?
So far this year, we have "doubled-down" on student coaches, peer mentors, and (most recently) enlisted some students to reflect on their behavior by writing SEL stories! The results have been game changing and has helped to ensure that we turn mistakes into learning moments for our students.
