Student Connection Survey and Dignity Act Update

The PBIS team will be looking to collect information from our 2nd through 6th grade students so that we can plan our Check In / Check Out program.  With the computer labs now available, we are asking that and 2-6 Grade teachers have their students fill out the appropriate survey below.  I will also post the links to the survey on the X drive so students will have access to the survey when they log on to a computer.

Last year the District PBIS team discussed the possibility of developing a video to use district-wide for Dignity for All Students Act (DASA Act) information because every staff member needs to be trained on this Act annually. This year, Global Compliance, the company we use for our on –line training (hazards in the workplace, sexual harassment, etc.) has created a DASA video (about 10 minutes in duration) for all staff to view.  More information regarding the video will be made available from Maureen Thayer’s office soon.

In the meantime, remember that any suspected DASA violation should be discussed with an administrator and documented (either through a low level referral, DASA incident report or an office discipline referral).  A full investigation into the allegation will occur and you will receive feedback as to the case’s resolution, including if a DASA violation was founded/unfounded.   

Remember, DASA includes…

Safeguarding against a hostile environment created by;

•           Conduct, verbal threats, intimidation or  abuse that reasonably causes or would reasonably be expected to cause a student to fear for their physical safety
•       Conduct, verbal threats, intimidation or abuse includes  but  is not limited to conduct, verbal threats, intimidation or abuse based on a  person's actual or  perceived race, color, weight, national origin, ethnic group, religion, religious practice, disability, sexual orientation, gender or sex
