Cheryl Stroud Julie Truesdell Kourtney Williams Maria Gonzalez Derek Treichelt Kirsten Jobb The School Safety Plan will create a positive environment for our school where students and staff feel safe and welcomed.  Members of the Edna Hill Hill Middle School

community believe students learn best in a safe, comfortable place where they feel supported, inspired and able to take risks. Through varied programs such as conflict resolution, drug and alcohol prevention awareness, community-parent partnerships, lawenforcement support, relationships are built that reinforce skills taught everyday through our adult advocacy program (Advisory). Advisory is our adult/student advocacy program for students. This relationship starts early and remains a strong keystone for student advocacy throughout every student's stay at EHMS. EHMS. It is also our vehicle for teaching and modeling specific “Bobcat Pride Skills” and the "8 Keys of Excellence" – replacement behavior and character development skills designed to model specific  behavior we would like to see in our students. Developing a “culture of care” is a defining achievement at EHMS. Students are known, valued, and appreciated by the

 

entire learning community.  Shared leadership exists among the organizational sstructures tructures at EHMS with the ultimate end in mind: to allow students to find success. It is our goal to ensure that students have been given every opportunity to achieve their own personal  best. (35294.2 (a) (1); PC 11164) The status of school crime on our campus has been assessed with the help of school reports and data related to school crime. The Edna Hill Middle School campus is

relatively free from crime or any significant criminal criminal activity. This plan will address, in a proactive manner, the anticipated needs of the Edna Hill Middle School site as well as the current needs in order to maintain a safe and positive school climate.
