Regular school attendance is essential for the academic success of our students. We ask that you do your best to be in school every day to benefit all our students and teachers. Research supports that regular school attendance and punctuality are directly related to success in academic work, including progress in meeting state and local requirements for graduation. Students who attend school consistently and are on time: benefit socially; establish better communication with their teachers; and establish regular habits of dependability, self-sufficiency, and responsibility, all of which are important to the student's future.

Because PACT has fewer instructional days than most Minnesota Schools, good attendance is even more essential for our students.

Our student dress code intends to provide a safe and productive learning environment with limited distractions and contribute to an atmosphere of respect for everyone in the building. Students will be asked to modify their clothing if they are outside our policy expectations.

Love and Logic

The Love and Logic approach is a behavior management program that has effectively dealt with issues in the classroom. It neutralizes arguing, offers delayed consequences, shows empathy, and develops positive teacher-student relationships. It’s a way to set enforceable limits, prevent power struggles, and guide students to own and solve their own problems. It has been an effective tool for PACT’s teachers, allowing them to enjoy their students!

Our Secondary program utilizes a School Discipline Support Room to support our Love and Logic discipline philosophy. The room allows teachers and students to work out behavior issues after school. This allows students to stay in the classroom during the day so they do not miss out on instruction. The room is staffed by a teacher and runs after school from 3:15-4:15 p.m., as needed.
