Prevention Plan Overview

Our school prioritizes prevention by offering support and services to our students and their families. Some of our everyday efforts, the systems and strategies for supporting our students are listed below:

Students enrolled full-time are registered for an Advisory course which meets weekly and focuses on supporting students.
Our school employs an array of strategies to reach students who are in need including personal phone calls, emails, home visits, postcards, and recognitions.
Our school uses a framework of instructional design that encourages student agency and allows for a variety of choices which lead to success.
In each course, each week, students engage in self reflection and give feedback to their instructors. Teachers use feedback to guide instructional decisions in ways that support student needs.
Our school employs grade level PLCs to evaluate data and make decisions about individual student needs.
Counselors provide support and services through individual and group counseling sessions, PCCR appointments, classroom lessons, and grade checks.

Our school uses Panorama data management to identify students in need of additional support.
Our school provides access to District mental health and support resources through Student Services which includes the Jordan Family Education Center and Mental Health Access Program.
Our school provides access to academic support with District departments to support the success of every student.
Our school’s mental health providers (school counselors, school psychologists, or clinical support) are trained and supported by District administration to follow current best practices in prevention and intervention efforts.
Our school intervenes with early warning, content monitoring, and anonymous reporting tools with support from District specialists to identify and support students who may be at risk.
Our school provides access to parent and family resources including a District partnership with the Cook Center for Human Connection, evening parent seminars, and classes through the Jordan Family Education Center.
