Community Conflict Guidelines
Elim's approach to conflict as an opportunity for growth, handled with care and fairness.
01
Every child is a child of God
We do not label children as good or bad. We view behavior as part of growth and respond with respect.
School practiceA child's dignity is protected before behavior is corrected.02
Conflict is an opportunity for growth
Conflict is not an obstacle. It is a chance to learn empathy, honesty, responsibility, and maturity.
School practiceStudents practice listening, apology, responsibility, and repair.03
Discretion protects community trust
Sensitive situations should be shared first with the teacher or school, not spread among uninvolved parties.
School practiceSchool and home use a shared sequence and language for restoration.04
Resolution is built together
The school listens to every child, and families handle emotions warmly as we find a path of restoration together.
