Respect |
Home + School + Community Working together to create a positive learning environment. |
Our goal for all students and staff at Elm Creek is mutual RESPECT, RESPONSIBILITY, and the ability to be RESILIENT.
|
"Discipline...Latin Root ... To Learn " At Elm Creek School, we value the existence of a positive learning environment. It is District 279's position, and ours, that a fair and equitable behavior policy and recognition plan will contribute to the quality of a student's educational experience. A consistent discipline plan is necessary for positive learning to occur. |
