Manajemen Komunikasi dan Kemitraan Sekolah Dalam Mendukung Kedisplinan Siswa Di SMA Negeri 1 Sangatta Utara

This study aims to describe the forms of school communication and partnership, as well as their management in supporting student discipline at SMA Negeri 1 Sangatta Utara. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach involving the vice principal for student affairs, guidance and counseling teachers, homeroom teachers, students, and parents as informants. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation and analyzed using interactive qualitative data analysis. Data trustworthiness was ensured through source triangulation, technique triangulation, and member checking. The findings indicate that school communication and partnerships were implemented through formal communication, including official letters and parent meetings, and informal communication through direct interaction and WhatsApp. School–parent partnerships involved coordinating student guidance and monitoring behavior both at school and at home. Communication and partnership management comprised four stages: planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation. However, implementation faced challenges, particularly limited responsiveness among some parents and differing perceptions of student behavior. These findings imply that schools need to strengthen structured, responsive, and continuous communication and encourage greater parental involvement. Such efforts may support more collaborative and consistent student discipline development across school and family environments
