C3: CHOICE - CHANCE - CHANGE
Welcome to C3 The Choice-Chance-Change (C3) program is designed for Saint Paul Public Schools students in grades 6-12, who were involved in a disruptive event and/or fight at school. We support students by reflecting on their behavior in order to change that behavior and repair the relationships that were damaged.
Length of Program:
Students attend the C3 program for 4 school days (Monday-Thursday). During that time the referring school will decide if the student is to attend their regular school day in addition to the C3 program.Who is eligible for the program:
Students who were involved in a violent event or repeated behavior violations. Including students receiving special education services in Federal settings I and II.Transportation:
The C3 program is located within the Journeys Secondary School building. Transportation will be provided to and from the program and will be set up during the intake process.Coursework:
Our student centered curriculum focuses on conflict resolution, mindfulness, promoting a positive self image and restorative justice.Referral Process:
Administrators from the referring school complete the C3 referral packet. The completed referral packet is then sent to Patti Vankirk via e-mail. The C3 administration will initiate the intake process. We will e-mail the bus routes to referring school admin on Thursday and referring school will notify parent and student. The referring school will then be notified when a student successfully completes the program.
