Behavior Expectations

All students and parents/guardians are expected to follow all school rules as outlined in the Kyrene Family Handbook. Program staff will enforce other rules deemed necessary to ensure the safety of all students.

Behavioral guidelines are established to maintain the physical and emotional well-being of each student and to teach self-discipline, judgment, and manners. Positive behavior management techniques are used to guide behavior. Parents and staff are viewed as partners in guiding each student’s development and will work collaboratively to establish consistency. Appropriate behavior is essential in learning and growing and is based upon mutual respect for the rights and property of others. Students are expected to display responsible behavior and to take responsibility for their actions. 

A student’s choice may result in positive or negative consequences such as a reward, redirection, or a loss of privilege. For more severe or continuous incidents, one or more of the following may result: a conference with a parent/guardian to create a Positive Behavioral Support Plan, suspension, or removal from the program. Refunds or credits are not issued for services rendered if a student is suspended from a Community Education Program (including Preschool) or from their school.

Please note: Behavior expectations may be modified to meet the individual needs of each student taking into account age, special needs, etc. Parent conferences may be scheduled with your child’s Program Coordinator to individualize the expectations to better support your child’s development.
