 Counselors in the Classroom

 
This year counselors will work in classrooms to deliver curriculum on study and test-taking skills, learning styles, school safety, and diversity, to name a few. We look forward to working with your students.
 

 Standards Based Grading

 

Grades will look different on the report cards as all teachers will be using the standards based  grading system.  CLICK HERE for more information on standards based grading.

Our counselors have written a helpful and very informative letter regarding standards based grading.  Please read it to find out more about the grading process.  <click to read letter>

 No Place for Hate

 

  Platt will be working as a school to achieve the ADL designation of a No Place for Hate School. This is a yearlong series of learning and activities helping us to value and respect all people. As a part of the activities students and staff will be signing the resolution of respect. 
 I pledge from this day forward to do my best to combat prejudice and to stop those who, because of hate or ignorance, would hurt anyone or violate their civil rights. I will try at all times to be aware of my own biases and seek to gain understanding of those who I perceive as being different from myself. I will speak out against all forms of prejudice and discrimination. I will reach out to support those who are targets of hate. I will think about specific ways my community members can promote respect for people and create a prejudice-free zone. I firmly believe that one person can make a difference and that no person can be an "innocent" bystander when it comes to opposing hate. I recognize that respecting individual dignity, achieving equality and promoting intergroup harmony are the responsibilities of all people. By signing this pledge, I commit myself to creating a community that is No Place for HateTM.
