 * Reflections and learning |||||||| 1. //Improve knowledge and enforcement of the attendance policy for John Battle students//. **__Constituents__:** Administration, Parents, SRO,

2. //Reduce the amount of repeat discipline offenders from the freshman class at John Battle High School//. **__Constituents__:** Administration, Parents, SRO, Judge Powell, Attendance Secretary, Guidance Department, In-School Suspension Coordinator, School Board Office, Highlands Community Services Administration from Wallace Middle School __**Plan Implementation:**__ Met with the freshman class as a whole at the beginning of the school year to discuss the discipline polices of John Battle High School and Washington County.

3. //Improve safety and student conduct at athletic events//. __Constituents:__ Administration, SRO, Parents, Washington County Sheriffs Department, John Battle teachers, Administration from Wallace Middle School. __**Plan** Implementation:__ Patrolled football games with the assistance of teachers at John Battle High School. Students in violation of the tobacco policy or on the not allowed on school campus list were removed from the games with assistance from the SRO and Washington County sheriffs. Investigated complaints from John Battle's coaches, opposing team's coaches, and fans.

__**What I Learned:**__ 1. Students are less likely to violate policies if they have a knowledge of the them along with the consequences. 2. Consistency is key in reducing the amount of discipline referrals. 3. Parents are almost always a great asset in reducing attendance and discipline problems. 4. The community's opinion of a school is shaped at extracurricular activities. 5. Document everything. 6. The SRO's presence at discipline referral meetings is helping in getting the attention of students. 7. Being a good listener is crucial when dealing with parents. 8. The guidance department and Highlands Community Services are helpful partners in reducing repeat offenders for discipline problems. 9.
