The staff at Groveland truly understands the precious gift of trust parents give when they send their children to us each day. Our sense of community is built on the belief that school is a place of unquestionable safety for all children. Physical Safety Our physical safety plan is designed to help students feel and be safe during each part of their school day. Our school building is secure throughout the day, with systems in place to take care of children's needs. Interpersonal Safety Conflict is a normal and inevitable part of social relationships in life. Children, like adults, need to learn how to handle Kindergartener's explore friendship through art conflict in healthy and productive ways. At Groveland, teachers take the time to teach students how to manage their disputes and find healthy solutions.  We provide a consistent conflict resolution process so students learn to express their needs and develop skills for resolving problems with others. Parents and teachers, however, know that children learn some of their most important lessons without a book. Our teachers and social worker provide individual and small group work to help students develop healthy ways to make decisions. We are careful that topics and questions are handled in a developmentally appropriate way, and we are vigilant to ensure that media and internet exposure be both appropriate and relevant to learning. Groveland is an internationally registered Peace Site and we work hard everyday to live up to this ideal. [Back]
