From the November 12, 2025 PTA Meeting Featuring Kim Roy:

 

Theme: From Punishment to Problem-Solving Differences between punitive, traditional discipline and restorative approaches.

 

Punitive vs. Restorative Discipline

What is a restorative conversation? The science behind why relationships matter for behavior and learning.

 

Although restorative practice is the focus there are still times when an incident occurs. Families should know about the Incident Reporting Form and process, Response Notification Form . Go to the school website and click on Title IX and Safe School Climate Plan. Click on the right hand side for the incident reporting form.

 

Parent takeaway: “Language swap” guide — punitive vs restorative wording at home. Restorative Conversation/Language Swap Guide
