The purpose of Restorative Practices is to build a healthy school community, repair harm, and restore relationships. Our staff and students participate daily in community circles and continue to use restorative circles and conversations when harm has been done within the school environment. Our teachers and students create their own respect agreements with valued input from both staff and students. We also use and teach the importance of affective statements when carrying out normal conversations and while working to repair the harm and restore relationships within the school community.
