Adobe Bluffs - Poway Unified School District

IV.A. SAFE AND SUPPORTIVE SCHOOLS - SCHOOLWIDE BEHAVIORAL SUPPORT PLAN
Adobe Bluffs incorporates a progressive discipline program following rules of discipline in accordance with statues of the State of California. Parents annually
receive a copy of the Rules of Student Discipline. Teachers go over school-wide rules with students at the beginning of the year and follow up when necessary.
These rules are also made available to parents in the student handbook that is posted on the school website. Parents and students review the rules and sign an
agreement page that is returned to the school. The Principal meets with all students in an assembly at the beginning of the school year to address the rules,
targeting zero tolerance in grades 4 and 5. A character program has been established to remind students of desirable traits to use when making decisions for
actions and words. Using the Character Counts Program, we highlight, problem-solve and model Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring and
Citizenship with our students and staff. Students are recognized with Aztec Character Cards for making good decisions and reminded about rules through Aztec
Alerts. We have scheduled PTA sponsored assemblies that address character education and bullying prevention. The "Bucket Fillers" antibullying/character
education program will be seen by all students this winter. We have an "Ability Awareness Day" to meet community members and learn how they deal with
disabilities. The program also highlights the importance of respectful language and using kind words at all times. Red Ribbon Week and our Too Good for Drugs
programs teach students the dangers of dangers of alcohol, tobacco and drugs. We employ eight trained noon duty supervisors to assure student safety at lunch.
Adobe Bluffs staff is vigilant and adamant in preserving a safe, respectful campus climate. Teachers provide supervision before and after school. Low level
aggressive behavior is acknowledged, sanctions are respectfully administered and student behavior is redirected and monitored in a positive direction.
