School Safety
South Colonie has had a Safe Schools Plan in place since 2001. The lengthy report outlines in detail student behavior expectations and consequences for all grade levels. The Safe Schools Plan covers a broad range of issues including student behavior expectations and range of consequences, the removal of disruptive students from the classroom, attendance and discipline policies, student dress code and codes of conduct. Behavior expectations are broken down into three sections — grades K-4, middle school and high school.
Social Work
The overall goal of South Colonie school social workers is to help students reach their full academic, social, and emotional potential by reducing or eliminating barriers to success. A school social worker is a trained mental health professional who works as a part of your child’s school team. School social workers work in conjunction with students, teachers, parents, and the community to help your child have a positive school experience.
