Students at Burrel Elementary are guided by specific rules and classroom expectations that promote respect, cooperation, courtesy and acceptance of others. The goal of Burrel Elementary discipline program is to create a learning environment in which all students have equal access to a high quality curriculum and all students have an opportunity to achieve at a high level. Parents and students are informed of school rules and discipline policies through the Student Handbook which is sent home at the beginning of the school year and is written in both English and Spanish. The Suspensions and Expulsions table illustrates total cases for the last three years, as well as a percentage of enrollment. Suspensions are expressed in terms of total infractions, not number of students suspended, as some students may have been suspended on multiple occasions. Expulsions occur only when required by law or when all other alternatives are exhausted.
Students are encouraged to participate in the school’s additional academic and extracurricular activities, which are an integral part of the educational program. These schoolwide and classroom incentives promote positive attitudes, encourage achievement, and aid in the prevention of behavioral problems. Extracurricular activities, clubs, and programs include: Operation T.E.A.M. (after school), Leadership Club, Student Council, and after school sports. The school’s interscholastic athletic programs promote individual and team-oriented achievement and self-esteem through school-sponsored teams that compete with other schools in the area. Athletic programs include: football, volleyball, basketball, soccer, and softball. Burrel School recognizes and celebrates the achievements and successes of students and staff on a regular basis. Students are recognized for their achievements during awards assemblies held quarterly..
