RESTORATIVE PRACTICES
We are excited to share our new infographic: Woodside's Restorative Practices, Rooted in Community. Following two years of extensive staff training, our Whole Child Committee believes that sharing this information with our families is an important next step. Integrating Restorative Practices is a natural extension of our relationship-based school culture, helping us to raise kind, problem-solving students. We want to be clear that this approach does not mean "no consequences." Instead, restorative practices emphasize active accountability. This means students must understand the impact of their actions and take steps to repair the harm caused, a process embedded within our consequences. For severe or pervasive behaviors, we will continue to utilize our higher-level supports, such as office referrals and traditional discipline. You are our essential partners in this work. Please review the attached infographic for simple ways to support a positive school climate at home, such as using shared language (like "impact" and "repairing harm") and keeping open lines of communication.
