Parent Workshops / Family Learning Nights
Personal Education Plans (PEPs) have always been a unique and integral part of the educational experience at GBCS. They reflect our school's mission and vision to support individual learning and to encourage all of our students to become independent and self-directed learners. The teachers, student and parents develop the child's goals together during and in-between conferences, based on the student's interests and learning profile. Students may work on their PEP goals during class time, centers, FLEX time, Genius Hour, and Enrichment Clusters.
We began to implement Positive Discipline in 2001 and have followed its principles ever since. Our students begin using conflict resolution and class meetings in kindergarten. Positive Discipline uses solution focused discipline to build a powerful learning community that models mutual respect and supports academic excellence. It is kind and firm; rooted in social-emotional learning and restorative justice.
