SCHOOL WIDE PROCEDURES & EXPECTATIONS

SCHOOL WIDE PROCEDURES & EXPECTATIONS

The Woodson Elementary Staff, Students and Families are committed to providing a positive learning environment by promoting and modeling respectful, responsible, and safe behaviors school-wide and in our community.
 
The primary concern of the school is to create and foster a safe learning environment where everyone can achieve his or her greatest potential.  This environment allows all students the opportunity for academic, social, and emotional growth. A structured discipline policy allows students to develop a concept of self-worth by giving them the opportunities to make decisions.  Students who experience consistent, logical, and realistic consequences for their behaviors learn to self-monitor their behavior.  The Woodson Elementary discipline policy helps students develop the ability to exercise self-control and self-discipline.
