Hello Perry,

I want to tell you how much Take Charge! has helped us change the landscape of our middle school. We have seen a decrease in the number of disciplinary issues during the first 65 days compared to last year without Take Charge!

  • 52% decrease in our parent disciplinary conferences
  • 57% decrease in In-School Suspensions
  • 60% decrease in the number of students suspended out of school

We have also seen a 5% to 10% increase in the number of students making A’s, B’s and C’s and a decrease in the number of students making D’s and F’s. Our teachers have enjoyed getting to know their students better and have been able to guide students to revisit various questions for self evaluation to help them continue to realize that they can only control how they react to another student or teacher. Teachers have found this extremely helpful for them as well because they are improving on how they react to their student’s behavior.

Thanks so much for helping our students and teachers Take Charge!!!
