Dear Athens staff, students, parents, and members of our community,
I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to those individuals who attended the Special School Board Meeting on March 4. Your presence, engagement, and thoughtful participation made the discussion meaningful and productive.
The purpose of the special meeting was to listen, learn, and work together to identify solutions to concerns regarding student behavior. We reviewed Policy #5500, the Student Code of Classroom Conduct, and through active collaboration, attendees worked together to create a guiding document designed to promote respectful and positive classroom environments across all of our schools. The thoughtful ideas, questions, and insights shared will help ensure our policies reflect our practices, and support our shared goals.
I want to recognize the schoolwide systems, including Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), that are implemented across all of our schools to support all learners and foster consistent, student-centered environments. I am also deeply grateful to our staff for their dedication to teaching and reinforcing appropriate behaviors and for the exceptional work they do each day to support our students.
Thank you,
Andrea Sheridan
Superintendent, School District of Athens
