“Challenge, success, confidence, and joy in learning. Everyone achieving, everyone accountable.”

ADAMS DISCIPLINE POLICY

According to Webster’s Dictionary, discipline is:

1. to punish or penalize for the sake of discipline
2. to train or develop by instruction and exercise especially in self-control
3. training that corrects, molds or perfects the mental faculties or moral character.

Adams believes in the efficacy of the second and third definition.

School is a learning institution. Children are sent to school to prepare for their future as adults. This requires some general guidelines that all must follow in order to create and maintain a climate in which learning can take place.
