Community Safety, Repair, and Accountability Policy

A good discipline policy is not just a child behavior document. It is an adult responsibility document.



This resource offers a Montessori-aligned framework for thinking about discipline through safety, dignity, repair, accountability, and adult consistency.

It includes language for schoolwide expectations, levels of response, restorative conversations, family communication, documentation, re-entry after serious behavior, and adult conduct.

This is not a punishment system. It is a framework for helping a school ask better questions:

What happened?

Who was affected?

What repair is needed?

What support is missing?

What boundary must be held?

What do the adults need to do consistently?

Designed for Montessori and child-centered school communities, this document can be used as a starting point for staff discussion, policy revision, parent communication, or leadership reflection.
