What makes Westminster Special.
Our Valuable partnership with Erie County Restorative Justice Coalition
Westminster continues our work with ECRJC to support our students instead of focusing on punishing our students. We work on the five Rs.
Relationship:- Restorative justice emphasizes repairing damaged relationships between victims, offenders, and the community.
- It prioritizes treating all parties involved with dignity and respect, regardless of their role in the harm.
- Restorative justice holds offenders accountable for their actions and encourages them to take responsibility for the harm they caused.
- The focus is on repairing the harm caused by the offense, both to the victim and the community, through various means, such as restitution, apologies, and community service.
- Restorative justice aims to facilitate the offender's reintegration into the community, foster a sense of belonging, and prevent future offenses.
Re--Enrollment
All students should have returned their re-enrollment packets at this time. If you have not returned the packet someone form the school will be reaching out to check if you want us to keep your child's seat for next year. If you have it, but forgot to send it in, please do so this week.
For your currently enrolled students, you do not need to complete an online application; just return this packet. We want to reassure you that the re-enrollment process is straightforward and we are here to assist you if you have any questions or concerns.
Please reach out with questions or concerns.
