Â鶹¹ÙÍø

The Â鶹¹ÙÍø community is invited to the school year¡¯s inaugural Town Hall on Tuesday, Oct. 15. MV educators and school leaderships will explore community building and how it aligns with our mission through the Â鶹¹ÙÍø restorative practices framework.

The event begins at 6:30 p.m. in the Kasperzak Center (please enter through the main entrance-Door 1).

Background

At Â鶹¹ÙÍø, we view restorative practices not only as a student discipline method but also as a foundational approach to fostering a stronger, more connected school community. Restorative practices help our students develop key life skills like communication, self-advocacy, and conflict resolution, while also reinforcing the values that define us.
