Student Discipline
Behavior Intervention Support Team (BIST) / Restorative Practices:
The Hickman Mills Middle School references BIST for interventions and support. The BIST model utilizes four steps:
1. Early Intervention
2. Caring Confrontation
3. Protective Planning
4. Outlasting
This allows for caring adults to partner with students who are struggling, help them be accountable for their actions, and give them the tools and behavioral skills they need to make positive changes in their lives. Through BIST students are taught and protected via grace and accountability, students can make good choices and have the promising lives they want and deserve. BIST is a philosophy that drives our culture and climate.
