Student Discipline Policy
At Jerabek Elementary, we are committed to providing a high-quality education for our students in a safe, respectful, and positive environment. Each member of our school community plays an important role in supporting our welcoming and inclusive school environment.
The plan employs school-wide strategies to create a safe, supportive, and caring social environment through class meetings, school-wide assemblies, modeling of behaviors, and sharing of learning and leadership.

Our strategies, listed below, enable students to reach high levels of academic achievement in a safe and caring environment.
- Conflict resolution
- Problem-solving
- Cooperative learning
