General Information
What Elmhurst is and all about......
Picture a Vibrant Tapestry Woven from many different threads, each representing a student’s unique background and experiences. In this tapestry, Restorative Practices serve as the skilled hands of a weaver, carefully mending any frays or gaps that arise, ensuring that every thread remains interconnected and strong.
Culturally Responsive Teaching acts as the rich dye that enhances each thread’s color, acknowledging and celebrating diversity, allowing every student to shine in their own hue. The Sense of Belonging is like the warm, comforting fabric backing of the tapestry, providing support and security, making each student feel like an integral part of the whole.
Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) flow like the guiding patterns in the design, promoting consistent, positive behaviors that keep the tapestry vibrant and harmonious.
Finally, Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) function as the sturdy loom that holds everything together, ensuring that students receive the right level of support based on their individual needs, allowing the tapestry to adapt and grow over time.
Together, these elements create a cohesive, resilient tapestry where every student’s story is valued, contributing to a rich and inclusive school environment.
