​Langley uses a healthy family model to create optimal learning reinforcements that support the continued development of children, including those with exceptional needs. Langley is rolling out a detailed strategic approach to creating a school climate that is safe, positive, respectful, and welcoming for all students.  A significant part of a school's job is teaching social-emotional skills and development explicitly to our students.
​
Langley utilizes Conscious Discipline, a social-emotional learning and classroom management program, as the main component of its school culture plan for all students. Langley supplements Conscious Discipline with Class Dojo and Fun Friday celebrations. Class Dojo, used in grades 1-5, is an online tool that gives students points based on their behavior in school. Dojo points will determine who has earned participation in Fun Friday celebrations. Homeroom teachers set up Class Dojo and share access to specials teachers, co-teachers, parents, leadership, and support staff.

Langley partners with Playworks to ensure that all students enjoy positive playground time. Playworks coaches help kids become leaders during recess by giving them the tools to resolve conflicts, reject bullying behavior and engage in inclusive, active play.
