Discipline Policy
The staff at Edgemont Elementary School believes that each person is entitled to a safe learning environment that fosters mutual respect, cooperation, and responsibility. We propose that a safe and orderly environment be best achieved by cooperation among parents, students, staff, and community. To achieve these goals, we pledge to clearly state behavioral expectations. Furthermore, we pledge to consistently reinforce positive behaviors and promote student responsibility.
