POSITIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT POLICY

Riverview East School is a K-5 school; Kindergarten to Grade Five, with Regular English and Immersion programs and Intensive French at Grade 5. Presently there are approximately 500 students enrolled.

Our school provides a positive learning environment for all students and staff. Current policies and practices regarding discipline are supported by Riverview’s Community of Schools’ “Grow by Living Well” initiative. This initiative is to promote respect, academic responsibility and citizenship that extend beyond the walls of the school and into our larger community. The school’s policy is designed to reflect provincial Policy 703, PLEP (Positive Learning Environment Plan). Although cellphones are not typically found in elementary schools, we are asking that students that may have a device leave them at home.

Our three simple rules to respect are:

1. Sharing is caring

2. Hands are for helping

3. Do the right thing

Everyone attending Riverview East School is considered to be an important member of the Riverview East School Family. Positive behaviour and good choices are recognized and reinforced through out Positive Behaviour Reinforcement Policy. The emphasis of this policy is rewarding good behaviour through praise, recognition, and a monthly celebration of good behaviour. Students recognized for excellent choices or work could receive an eagle feather to put in Eddie’s nest, or take part in a monthly celebration for good citizenship and academic responsibility. Our grade level teams will be holding a monthly celebration activity for those students who complete their school work to the best of their abilities and following school rules. Parents are made aware of the Positive Learning Environment Policy through information sessions at parent meetings and students will have the policy reviewed at the beginning of the school year and periodically reviewed.
