If you have students in your class who you are concerned with and want to share your concerns or who are being disruptive, please feel free to call or email.
What can we do for you?
Consultation – If you have a question regarding student behavior that you view as disturbing, disruptive, or dysregulated, but the student is not an immediate threat to self or others, we recommend you either contact the Dean of Students Office at 623-935-8814, or you can call anyone of our counseling faculty by contacting the Counseling Office at 623-935-8909. You can also email the Dean at Catrina.kranich@estrellamountain.edu
Discipline Referral – If a student is exhibiting disruptive behavior in the classroom, even after you have confronted the behavior, you can refer the student to the Dean of Students. Report the incident here: https://district.maricopa.edu/consumer-information/reporting. Remember to provide as many details as possible and avoid diagnosing behavior or using inflammatory language to describe the situation.
