Discipline Policy
“HOW TO BE A TERRIFIC TIGER”
Our school is committed to the safety and well-being of our students, and is committed to creating a safe, productive school environment so your child can learn and strive for success. As part of our strategic plan, we are dedicated to implementing a School-Wide Positive Behavior Intervention and Support plan.
At Sherman Oaks we refer to this approach as “Best Behavior Policy” where our focus is on the three B’s –
- BE SAFE
- BE RESPECTFUL
- BE RESPONSIBLE
