Our Positive Behavior Program is rooted in the Excellence Expectations. We have clear expectations, incentives and recognition for doing the right things and clear responses for undesirable behaviors.

9. We are an Anti-Bullying District
Any acts of bullying of a student are prohibited by the Plainfield Community School Corporation. A safe and civil environment in school is necessary for students to learn and achieve high academic standards. Bullying, like other disruptive or violent behaviors, is conduct that disrupts both a student’s ability to learn and a school’s ability to educate its students in a safe and disciplined environment. Since students learn by example, school administrators, faculty, staff and volunteers should be commended for demonstrating appropriate behavior; treating others with civility and respect; and refusing to tolerate harassment, intimidation or bullying.

10. Anti-bulling expectation
