Peer Mediators
 

Conflicts are a part of our relationships.  The most common conflicts that occur at school are teasing, rumors, arguments over game rules, and put-downs.  This program is designed to teach students how to help resolve these types of problems between two students.  When an agreement is reached between two disputants, an agreement form is signed by all parties.  Potential mediations may be screened through the counselor and physical conflict or larger problems are handled by school staff.

Students who are selected participate in a training program in the fall and additional meetings as necessary during lunch.  Mediators will be expected to be “on duty” one day every two weeks.  They are expected to be a role model for other students at all times.
