Discipline Harvie ES had the most discipline referrals Aggressive and violent behaviors Referrals to New Bridge Support staff taken out of rooms to help Over 200 referrals written for behaviors

Analysis of Data Biggest hurdle to academic success, in my view, is soci-economic status. Students do not have the same means or opportunities as others. Even with additional funding through Title I, we still are lagging behind. What can we do to ensure success? Discipline is also a contributing factor. Time is taken away from instruction. Support staff is being pulled from classes to assist. Not meeting all students needs when discipline occurs.

Conclusions: What Can We Do? Tutoring programs Parent Involvement PALS Watch Dogs Classes for parents Consistent discipline policy Follow through with parent support with discipline New strategies for teachers Discipline team
