Stop. Walk. Talk.
To help students learn how to solve problems without the help of an adult, we abide by a conflict resolution program that is taught and practiced by students throughout the year. The program encourages students to talk to their opposer to communicate the problem, walk away if the problem persists, and then, tell an adult if the problem has not been solved.
If someone is injured, talk to a teacher immediately.

Stop.
If another student or group of students is not following expectations or is bothering your student in some way, he or she should stand up straight, and say STOP in a brave and firm voice. While saying STOP, he or she should also make the hand signal for STOP by holding the hand palm forward, like there is a stop sign in the palm of his or her hand.

Walk.
If the opposer continues to bother your student or ignore expectations after being told to STOP, your student should walk away from the situation to a new area of the playground, open desk, or different spot in line.
Talk.
If the opposer follows your student and continues the negative behavior after he or she walks away, talk to a teacher immediately.
