School Climate

Our schools support and promote school climates where all students thrive academically and socially, have a strong and meaningful voice, and prepare for lifelong success. Please refer to the School Climate and Bullying Regulations for details. In addition, School Climate Plans are linked on each school website.

Restorative Practices

Glastonbury Public Schools uses restorative practices to build relationships and community. The majority of restorative practices are proactive, aiming to foster strong, supportive relationships before conflict arises. Restorative practices focus on understanding and solving problems with open communication, accountability, and mutual respect. Please click here for more information about restorative practices.

Behavior Referrals

When a student is not following the expected school behaviors, school employees may make a behavior referral to support the student. In addition, consequences may be given as appropriate. See Board Policy #5114 Student Discipline/Exclusion for more information.

Reporting Challenging Behavior or Bullying

When issues arise, we encourage students and families to reach out to the classroom teacher first. All school employees are required to report any alleged challenging behavior or bullying incident. Students and parents or guardians of students enrolled in school may also report such incidents using the Behavior Concern Report form. Reports should include details such as the date, location, a description of the incident, and any known witnesses. Please refer to the School Climate and Bullying Regulations for details.
