Philosophy

The Peru Central School District believes strongly in the positive development of its students in both areas of academics and personal growth. Each student must be afforded the opportunity to develop in each of these areas to his/her fullest potential. To provide and sustain the proper atmosphere for our students to progress in their development requires cooperation and understanding by students, teachers, parents, administrators, and the Board of Education.

The School Community, therefore, desires to work with each student and his/her parent/guardian to resolve together any problem which might prevent a student from achieving success.

In developing this code, we recognize and believe the following to be true:

Parents Matter: Caretakers have a big impact on students.

Teamwork: Parents, students, and school staff should work together to help each student do their best.

Families Matter: If there’s a problem at home or with family, it can affect how well a student does in school.

Long-Term Effects: Issues at school or home can have lasting consequences.

Positive Support: When everyone—both at school and home—encourages a student and gives clear messages, good behavior follows.
