Student Management and Restorative Practices

Philosophy of Discipline at Uplift Education

Uplift Education believes in promoting positive student conduct in conjunction with campus, classroom and district rules designed to maintain order in the School, foster a climate of mutual respect for the rights of others, and teach students that they are responsible for conducting themselves in a manner appropriate to their age and level of maturity.  The term “discipline” derives from the Latin root word disciplina, which means, “to teach”.  In this same spirit, Uplift Education, promotes the use of Restorative Practices and other thoughtful and effective interventions that provide scholars the opportunity to learn and grow from their mistakes or poor choices.  Most importantly, the Code of Conduct reinforces Uplift Education’s deep commitment to the safety and well-being of scholars as its top priority.
