The Marie H. Katzenbach School for the Deaf is committed to creating a positive learning environment where students are academically and socially successful.  To meet this commitment, we have established a universal set of core values for our campus: Respect, Responsibility and Kindness (R2K). To foster these values, adults at MKSD will help students actively learn how to make appropriate behavioral choices by:

• clearly defining and communicating what is expected of students
• explicitly teaching behavioral expectations and using proactive strategies to prompt appropriate behaviors
• providing students with positive feedback for following expectations
• recognizing and rewarding positive behaviors using frequent reinforcement, individual incentives and fun activities

Goals of R2K
