Peer Mediation Mediation is where students help other students solve problems without the involvement of teachers or others school staff. It is a conflict between two students, and we help them agree to the solution that solves their situation. This is an effective way to solve problems amongst yourselves. ️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️

We meet with our Palees on Wednesdays and Thursdays during their lunch periods. With our palees we have 100% confidentiality,which means what we talk about together stays between us. We are mentors to a great group of 6th grade students.
