Day in the Life of a K-8 Dean of Students is never the same, below please find my top priorities for supporting students and staff:

1) Support students and staff during unstructured times - before school bus lane, after school dismissal process, recess times, lunch times

2) First line of support for bus drivers with student behaviors while on buses. This may include riding a bus to reteach expectations, watching video from the bus, administering student discipline and communicating with parents.

3) Work with students to teach appropriate behavior in a variety of settings.

4) Serve as a resource to staff in dealing with classroom management issues and student discipline. 

5) Respond immediately to crisis calls made by school personnel to de-escalate aggressive behavior.

6) Openly communicate with students, staff, and parents/guardians regarding student behavior. 

7) Manage the documentation of student behavior through student management system 

8) Create, maintain, and enforce clearly defined school-wide behavior expectations and procedures for discipline on campus as well as off campus during transportation or school sponsored trips.

9) Assist in the planning, development, and implementation of student behavior plans. 

10) Meet weekly with the Principal and Counseling department to discuss and problem solve student behaviors being a part of the team for determination of need for additional formal or informal services.
