Principal's Update 13.1

Parents,

I am constantly telling people about how wonderful our students are at Green Hill, but considering the events of the past week those comments would be (and have been) called into question. Some of that is warranted based on the fact that in these 5 days we dealt with a fire in a trash can, a fight, bullying via social media, and a threat. I will add that appropriate discipline has occurred for all of the aforementioned behaviors.

I choose to take the approach of transparency for the purpose of drawing in parents to be allies in building the character and behaviors of our students; that being the case, the optics of the school suffers. I have been quite frustrated over the past few days, and slightly disheartened about our student population, so I pulled the discipline data to see how widespread the issues have become. I am going to share some of that information with you now. I removed being tardy/skipping from the numbers, minus those the total remaining number of students we have had disciplined for behaviors this school year is 33; we have 1622 students. The other side of this is we have a small number of students (2% to be precise) who are making the other 98% look bad.

The reality is that there are some areas that need to be tightened up, and tighten up we will. When issues of discipline arise, we are sure to follow the Code of Conduct. While it is impossible to prevent all of the poor choices kids will make, they typically will not make them when they feel monitored (which is why the majority of issues occur in the restrooms). Everyone here is dedicated to making the environment one that students feel safe, valued and supported in, and we will increase our measures to try to make that occur. I will continue to be transparent because I feel a community approach to our students is the best approach.
