Q – Will I, as a parent/guardian, be notified if my son/daughter requests or is called into a Peer Mediation?

A – No. In order to encourage empowerment, it is up to the student as to whether or not they would like to discuss Peer Mediation at home.

Q – Is my son/daughter required to attend Peer Mediation when they receive notification?

A - The Peer Mediation program is voluntary. We would ask that the student come down at the assigned time and state that they do not wish to participate in Peer Mediation.

Q – How does confidentiality play a role in Peer Mediation?

A – Confidentiality plays a significant role when it comes to our Peer Mediators. The Peer Mediators are aware that all information stated within a Peer Mediation must remain confidential unless, of course, someone’s health and/or safety is at risk.

Q – How much confidence does Acadia have in their Peer Mediators?

A – We are extremely confident with our Peer Mediators . Twenty students, ten 7^th grader and ten 8^th graders, were involved in an intense two day training with Mrs. Nicolella, Mr. Green and Mrs. Reif. They were trained in many different situations regarding Peer Mediation.
