Jackson Park High Five Expectations
Purpose: Jackson Park School is a community of learners. We are all here to learn, grow, and become good citizens.
We learn to:
- Be Safe
- Be Cooperative
- Be Peaceful
- Be Kind
- Be Respectful
The High Five expectations are designed to help create a climate of cooperation, academic excellence, respect and safety at Jackson Park School. The High Five expectations are based on seven guiding principles. We believe these principles will help create an optimal learning environment for the students at Jackson Park Elementary. The guiding principles are as follows:
- Clear expectations for student behavior.
- Clear and consistent strategies for teaching appropriate behavior.
- Clear and consistent strategies for encouraging appropriate behavior.
- Clear and consistent consequences that discourage inappropriate behavior.
- A support system and individual behavioral programs for students with unique or exceptional needs.
- Clearly designed methods for evaluating and revisiting the High Five expectations.
- Clear plans and strategies for communicating the characteristics and philosophy of the behavior plan to students and parents.
