PBIS at HLC

Safe and Supportive Campus Expectations

This 2024- 2025 school year, HLC revisited our Campus Wide Student Expectations.  This is part of PBIS, Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports. Our students provided feedback for these expectations through a student survey and an advisory lesson.  Our new school theme is “That’s What Dragons Do!”  New posters reminding everyone of the expectations have been created as well.  We are lucky to have such great students here, but we all need reminders now and then about what Dragons are expected to do. 

We daily celebrate students making good choices by handing out PBIS cards and doing a daily drawing of the cards. We have lots of other ways we celebrate and recognize students who make good choices.

Our school is a choice school.  Students and families CHOOSE to attend.  We follow the same district policies and expectations as our other district schools.  We continue to work with our students to follow these expectations which in turn supports a safe learning environment.  We enforce our state, district, and school policies and expectations around Harassment, Intimidation, and Bullying AND Gender Inclusive Schools. Many of our students chose our school knowing that it is a safe place to be themselves.  We expect all of our students to be respectful of students’ gender and gender expression.  That includes using a student’s preferred name AND not discussing other students’ gender or gender expression. It is important that our teens are always respectful of others and make it right when they forget to do so.  We have limited bathrooms at our small school.  We appreciate your student being patient and understanding while waiting in line.  We also appreciate that your student does not linger unnecessarily in the bathroom since others are waiting.  Get in and Get out!  Maybe our new school will have more bathrooms!
