Northmor Local School District - Golden Knights

Dear Golden Knight Families,

CREATING A SAFE, FAIR AND RESPECTFUL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT!

A safe and healthy learning environment is a key ingredient of effective schools, and every day at Northmor, we seek to provide a safe and respectful learning and working environment for every student and employee. In previous years, we have made numerous physical alterations and security upgrades to our campus but in this article, I would like to focus on the safe learning environment through other aspects. The adults who are engaged in working with our community’s children exhibit the highest level of care, concern, and dedication to ensure student success academically, socially, and behaviorally each school day. As a learning organization, we champion our youth, celebrate succusses, and hold students and staff to a very high standard. As issues arise, we genuinely work to address those specifically or in a very comprehensive manner as required. We have made tremendous progress over the last few years through the implementation of a Positive Behavior Intervention Support (PBIS) framework where PBIS is augmented through high expectations, support, and accountability.

Daily, I am encouraged by the efforts of our staff and students. We strive to provide a school district that is safe, supportive, engaging, challenging, and healthy. We want every student to feel a sense of belonging, as this is the utmost importance for the success of children. We are committed to having campus be a safe space where negative speech and action is not tolerated and is not ignored. This takes significant work, and we have valuable assets available to support our student body. We allow students to have a voice, and strongly encourage student leaders. These student leaders are innovative, trustworthy, and display numerous characteristics beyond the norm of typical young people. They care about others, and often help plan specific events on campus during the school year. We are extremely fortunate and blessed to have such amazing young people that model exemplary behaviors. Furthermore, we have school counselors, and administrators, that understand the needs of students and do many things beyond the norm to help students be successful.

As we approach the final stretch of the school year, I would like to encourage all students and staff to pause for a moment and enjoy what is taking place in the educational arena. We have so much to be thankful for, even on the hardest and challenging days of life. We have each other, we have friends, we have family, we have all sorts of supports in place to prop us up in the most difficult times. Please rely on your Golden Knight Family to support you!

It’s a great time to be a GOLDEN KNIGHT!!

Sincerely,
Chad Redmon
