| The
Stop, Think and Renew (STAR) Program was developed to
meet the needs of students who could benefit from assistance
learning skills and techniques to assist them with pro-social
or functional academic skills. The focus of the program
is to reinforce positive behaviors on a daily basis.
Students in the program are involved in developing their
own strategies to assist them in making positive choices.
Our philosophy is to help students develop their own internal
guidelines for what behaviors will help them be successful.Another
focus of the STAR Program is Peer Mediation. Peer Mediation
empowers students to find their own solutions to problems
in a nonthreatening environment. Students in mediation
cooperatively work out their conflict with the help
of trained Mediators. These Mediators are fifth grade students
who have been trained in conflict resolution, restitution,
and peer mediation.Peer Mediation sessions are held
in the Peer Mediation Center/STAR room. Any student may
request a mediation, or students may be referred through
a teacher or other staff person. Peer Mediations are
confidential.
