Assistant Principals’ Office

Work with students proactively on behavior expectations

• APs meet with their classes multiple times throughout the year to review attendance and behavior expectations, update classes regarding any new policies or procedures, and to celebrate semester successes. 

Implementation of Restorative Practices

• APs, when appropriate, utilize restorative learning opportunities as they are working with students on to address behavior/attendance issues and in response to peer issues/conflicts.  Assistant Principals and Student Services team members conduct restorative chats, circles, and conferences for students to assist in working through peer conflicts, student-staff concerns or other issues to assist in bringing resolution to disagreements or incidents that have occured.  Restorative learning opportunities are used in combination with traditional disciplinary consequences.  

• Assignment to the Restorative Intervention Room is utilized as an alternative to both in-school and out-of-school suspension thus limiting the use of exclusionary discipline.

   

Process referrals, collaborate with staff/SST, families, and outside agencies

• The APO processes student referrals (attendance and behavior) daily.  Through this process, APs will meet, discuss, process, and assign consequences based on individual students and unique situations. 

Monitor Speak-up Line, Gaggle

• APs monitor the LTHS Speak-Up Line and Google Drive Gaggle safety reporting program during school hours.  APs also process calls from Gaggle (outside of school hours) when an emergency situation is present. 

• The LTHS Speak-Up Line is a reporting program for students, faculty or community members to anonymously report safety concerns to the District. 

• Gaggle is a safety reporting program that is operated through Google and student Google Drives.  If a student saves documents, files or images with words or phrases that threaten their or others’ safety, Google will report that information to the AP Office.  

Articulation with Associate Schools for incoming students 

• The South Campus Associate Principal, Division Chair for Student Services, and AP for the incoming class will meet with Principals and staff at our associate schools to review safety concerns regarding the incoming class of students as well as general student support. 

Partnership with SRO’s/local law enforcement

• LT maintains a reciprocal agreement with our local PD agencies and a close working relationship with our School Resource Officers (LGPD at North Campus and WSPD at South Campus).
