The HMS Behavior Intervention System
The HMS Discipline System is a restorative justice model that focuses on helping students take responsibility for their behaviors and repairing and restoring relationships.
Our goal at Holmen Middle School is to create internal change that will help guide students in their decision making both in and out of school. We believe that students are happier, more productive and more likely to make positive change when those in positions of authority are working WITH students. We work hard to build the connections, understanding and shared values that make HMS a great place to attend school.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A STUDENT GETS REFERRED TO THE OFFICE?
Students can get referred to the office in two ways:
-
Staff-Managed Referral: Staff fill these out to describe behaviors in the classroom that are of concern but are able to be handled in the classroom without administrator involvement.
-
Office-Managed Referral: Staff fill out these forms for behaviors that need administrative involvement.
After a student has had multiple discipline referrals they are referred for additional interventions such as Check-In/Check-Out, or Social Academic Instruction Groups (SAIG). An Educational Service Team (EST) may also be convened with staff and parents to see how we can work together to help students behave appropriately while they are at school.
