In the land of never - never, all is perfect and the world is one big rainbow with fun and thrills and no sadness. Some times things just don't work out. We do not like to dwell on the subject but there are moments when students make choices that are not perfect. Yes, that happens.
I believe children make mistakes and sometimes behave in manners we wish they would not. The school attempts to create an environment that cushions mistakes and provides a safe pace to experiment and explore. But there are times and events that move beyond what is reasonable and far from appropriate. When that happens we take action that attempts to protect the students and staff. Some mistakes in judgement are such that dire consequences is the result. Those decisions are made with serious consideration and not taken lightly.
There are events your children will come home and talk about -- and some they don't. First, we operate in a very open and vulnerable environment. 2,000 people move about in the school on a daily basis. We want children to make decisions and explore the opportunities and challenges. That does not mean they should use that freedom and opportunity to exploit the moments. There are student actions that result in serious consequences. Just being silly is not a justification for jeopardizing others.
In the next couple days you may have a conversation with your children about what is appropriate student behavior and what is not.
