Junior/Senior High: Emotional-Behavioral

The purpose of the School Street Junior/Senior High School is to provide an environment and program that will facilitate the growth of students intellectually, socially, emotionally and physically. In order to achieve this goal, we make the following assumptions:

Smart is not something you are, smart is something you become.
Learning occurs in all types of situations.
all learners are capable of succeeding and erring within reasonable limits.
The learning environment is enhanced by an attitude of acceptance, empathy and positive rewards.
All learners need to be encouraged to express their perceptions, feelings, thoughts, desires and dreams.
Each learner is of equal value as a person.
Learners can get their needs met.
Learners can be different.
The learner is ultimately accountable for his/her educational performance.
Learners need to become more trusting of their own ability to make responsible decisions.
As a community, we will strive to maintain an environment that is stimulating and spontaneous.
The learner must know that the world outside school is not structured for his/her personal success.

Students who attend this program generally demonstrate behaviors which interfere with their and/or others learning. These learning blocks may be extremely difficult for the student to deal with, and an alternative learning environment may be recommended at a Team meeting. We individualize academic instruction and behavior intervention plans. A full-time counselor is available to students at any time and all professional staff is trained in intervention and advocacy for students. We are more interested in preventing a reoccurrence of a behavior, than we are in administering consequences for past behavior. Issues are processed individually with students and there is full staff input with any action taken regarding students.
