District 103
Addressing Student Behavior
There has been a nationwide increase in students engaging in inappropriate behavior, and the District 103 Board of Education discussed the strategies the district is using to address this issue within our schools at the March 12, 2024, Board meeting.
This increase in behavior, such as racial, anti-Semitism, and anti-Muslim remarks, hurtful exchanges, and inappropriate language usage, is influenced by pop culture and social media.
D103 staff are addressing the issue through social-emotional lessons in early childhood through eighth-grade that emphasize respect and kindness. High school students are being enlisted to engage the students at Daniel Wright about how to stop negative language and address the issue with their peers. Staff are discussing with the students about their actions and utilizing restorative justice practices, such as making amends to those they have hurt and providing consequences when needed.
To provide ways for students to voice their concerns if they feel mistreated, the schools have established multiple ways to inform adults. These practices include:
- Telling a staff member.
- Writing an email to a trusted adult.
- Completing a school paper form or digital form at Daniel Wright.
The social and emotional well-being of our students is a top priority in District 103. When students feel safe at school, they learn and thrive. Please discuss with your children how negative words, name-calling, racial, anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim language are painful to the students that the comments are directed to, and also contribute to having other students feel unsafe.
Thank you for your partnership as we work together to raise kind and empathetic Leaders in Learning.
Sincerely,
Scott Warren, Ed.D
Superintendent of D103 Schools
