General Information

PBIS at Indian Trail

What is PBIS:

Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS), is the behavior component of Response to Intervention (RtI). PBIS at Indian Trail is a school wide initiative allowing us to be on the same page with regards to discipline and student behavior. We will use a continuum of positive supports for all students in all areas – classroom and non-classroom settings.

Goals:

Teach all students the behaviors we expect.
Provide a safe environment where students achieve academically and socially.
Increase academic achievement through consistent behavioral expectations.
Encourage positive behaviors and interactions.
Decrease problem behaviors.
Reduce the number of disciplinary referrals.

Components:

Matrix – guideline of behavioral expectations
Cool Tools – lesson plans to teach behavioral expectations
PAWS – tickets given to students for positive behavior which may be exchanged for privileges or other reinforcing items
School Wide Celebrations – every student will participate in the beginning of the year kick off and quarterly celebrations
Classroom and Office Disciplinary Referral Forms – data collection system used to monitor student behavior

Emergency Closing Information

Parents are encouraged to sign up for automated text messages and/or email alerts regarding school closing. This may be done by completing the online form. Simply go to the district website, click on 'For Parents & Students' and click on 'Emergency Mailing List.' Fill out the form accurately and you will receive automatic text messages or email alerts from the district.

Emergency closing information will continue to be broadcasted via radio and television.

We kindly ask that parents do not call the school or the district office regarding school closings as we have limited personnel to field such calls.

Peanut Allergies

At Indian Trail School, we will be implementing a health and safety program for anaphylactic children. These anaphylactic children have a life-threatening allergy to peanuts, tree nuts, and lentils. Our goal is to provide a safe environment for all students in each of their individual circumstances.

As a school community it is important to support each other. One of the great things about Summit Hill School District #161 is the partnership we have with our families and in our community. We are asking for your assistance in providing a safe learning environment for all of our students who have life-threatening peanut allergies.

To reduce the risk of exposure, we are asking that food products containing peanut, tree nut, or lentils not to be brought in to school for class activities such as birthdays, holiday celebrations, recreational or instructional class activities. It is important to know that just a tiny amount of the allergen, a trace amount, is enough to cause a reaction that will threaten the life of these allergic children. Therefore, we are asking that you be aware of the labels of products that read, "may contain, shared equipment with, contains trace amounts, or processed on" that indicate peanuts or tree nuts may be present.

We are asking that you not send home-baked goods for the aforementioned activities. We also ask that any foods that are brought in be store bought and sealed.

The safety of all of our children is a priority to this district. We appreciate your support of ensuring a safe school environment for all students.
