Claiborne prides itself in being an orderly school with a high level of respect among staff and students.  Due to district rezoning, the student population has increased in size.  As a staff, we saw the need to be proactive in establishing a behavior plan that takes into account our growth.  Since May, the Claiborne staff has been developing a school-wide behavior plan which is designed to foster a climate of cooperation, academic excellence, respect, and safety at Claiborne Elementary School.  We are starting this fall off by moving about the campus in a safe and respectful manner.  Our plan emphasizes the use of effective instructional strategies, consistent correction procedures, logical consequences and positive reinforcement to teach students the skills and behaviors necessary to succeed now and in the future.
