Alberton School is a community of students, educators, and families committed to inspiring and preparing student leaders for their future. Alberton Students are Safe, Respectful, and Responsible. Alberton Students “Do The Thing.” Alberton School’s Mission is to partner with families and the Alberton community to provide a Safe and Respectful learning environment in which students are given the opportunity to develop to their greatest individual potential, both academically and in their holistic critical thinking skills, and ultimately become Responsible contributing citizens. 

What we do, and How we do it, impacts our Mission and Vision. It is critical to be united in our systems as it provides consistency for students and families, and more importantly, it is how we support and respect each other. 

WHAT: The Guaranteed and Viable curriculum and the way we collaborate as a community to deliver instruction. 

• A Guaranteed Curriculum is an opportunity to learn, for all students, despite the school, or the teacher responsible for delivering it. 

• Viable Curriculum: having adequate time to learn the identified material. 

• Curriculum: the standards that we teach. It is the answer to the first question of a Professional Learning Community - "What is it that we want our students to know and be able to do?" 

• Collaborative Community: the ongoing process in which educators work collaboratively in recurring cycles of collective inquiry and action research to achieve better results for the students they serve.  

HOW: The systematic behavior management practices that assist educators, parents, and other community members in developing the attitudes and skills necessary to ensure that each student, regardless of ability or disability, leaves public education and enters the community with social and academic competence.

• Alberton School Behavior Management Plan

It is this combination of the “what” and the “how” that will be used to educate our students in order for them to develop respect in a dignified, safe, and consistent learning environment.

This plan reinforces:

• Students are here to be engaged and learn

• Teachers are here to provide standards-based instructional learning

• Staff are here to support the process

• Administration ensures the Mission is supported with consistency  

• Administration ensures the plan supports the Vision to create systems focused on students learning about their holistic, positive personal identity while they engage in their curricular requirements through a rigorous, relevant, and respectful relationship. 

Students will learn the importance of civic literacy, ownership over their choices, and self-advocacy. The behavior plan will develop civic literacy by expecting the students to know and understand their Responsibilities, Rights, and Duties. Respect will develop by the student’s choosing and learning to become hardworking, self-motivated, responsible, positive role models with a positive attitude.

A positive school climate and school culture promote students' ability to learn. For Alberton School, it refers to the beliefs, perceptions, relationships, attitudes, and written and unwritten rules that shape and influence every aspect of how we provide instruction and how students learn. 

Alberton teachers, staff, and administrators contribute to a healthy, happy school culture by: 

• Providing a physically and emotionally safe environment for students and each other

• Ensuring there is uniformity in our Universal Expectations in the classroom, gym, library, playground, commons area, hallways, office, and other interactive spaces

• Embracing and celebrating cultural diversity, growth, achievement, and talent

• Participating in conscious and unconscious perspectives, values, interactions, and practices that shape the principles and beliefs around the learning environment and the Alberton community.
