We do home visits for misbehavior. In this, our third year of suspension home visits, we have expanded our efforts to include Tier 3 pre-suspension students. Students who are preoccupied with social/emotional/familial issues engage in Ed Code 48900 violations strategies to cope with problems they cannot solve. Strengthening the home/school connection can find solutions and restore relationships for students and parents which result in better attendance and better behavior. By meeting families in the home to collaborate in helping our at promise students we can reduce the emotional barriers to prosocial behavior and academic success. Our suspension rate has been below the state and country for 2 years running since we began and we hope to create a culture of happiness, empowerment and freedom in our schools. This is how we do it.
