Prevention Plan – Columbia Elementary

Columbia Elementary’s mission is to partner with faculty, students, and families to launch academic achievement and social confidence in a safe learning environment. This partnership will enable our students to become happy, successful, and productive citizens.

Prevention Plan Overview

Columbia staff work diligently to build students’ social, emotional, and behavioral skills. Together we address student basic needs through relationship drive, learning focused, and data informed decision making processes. Through regular daily practice, extra-curricular activities, individualized student support services, and collaboration with families and community organizations, we aim to prevent suicide, bullying, and violence within our school community.

We offer various support and services to our students and families. Some of our every day efforts, systems, and strategies to support our community are listed below:

Positive Behavior Interventions and Support (PBIS) practices include school wide behavior expectations (Safe, Kind, Respectful, and Responsible) school wide structure for addressing behavior concerns (Behavior Matrix, link), and explicit teaching of rules.
Astro Points are given by all members of the Columbia staff for being safe, kind, respectful, or responsible. Points are tracked online using the DOJO application. Families are invited to connect with their class to receive updates on points earned. Students are able to redeem their points at the school store for items like snacks, soda, fidgets, books, etc.
Students who go above and beyond receive a token which can be used in the front office token tower for a small prize immediately.
Astro Awards are held monthly. Students receive recognition for meeting academic and behavioral goals.
Staff and students have the opportunity to submit shout outs to one another which are read daily during the morning announcements.
Verbal praise is given to all students meeting expectations.
Individual classrooms may add additional incentive programs at their discretion.
Student Leadership opportunities through Student Council
Extra Curricular activities including Girls on the Run, Orchestra, Choir, Culture Club, STEM Club
Basic needs are met by offering Monthly Food Bank, KidsEat weekend food bags, Operation School Bell, Sub for Santa, Thanksgiving meals, hygiene kits, Big Smiles (dental care), vision and hearing screenings, and more.

La misión de la Escuela Primaria Columbia es colaborar con el profesorado, los alumnos y las familias para fomentar el rendimiento académico y la seguridad social en un entorno de aprendizaje seguro. Esta colaboración permitirá a nuestros alumnos convertirse en ciudadanos felices, exitosos y productivos.

Resumen del plan de prevención

El personal de Columbia trabaja con diligencia para desarrollar las habilidades sociales, emocionales y de comportamiento de los alumnos. Juntos abordamos las necesidades básicas de los alumnos a través de procesos de toma de decisiones basados en las relaciones, centrados en el aprendizaje y fundamentados en datos. Mediante la práctica diaria, las actividades extracurriculares, los servicios de apoyo individualizados para los alumnos y la colaboración con las familias y las organizaciones comunitarias, nuestro objetivo es prevenir el suicidio, el acoso escolar y la violencia dentro de nuestra comunidad escolar.

Ofrecemos diversos tipos de apoyo y servicios a nuestros alumnos y familias. A continuación se enumeran algunos de nuestros esfuerzos, sistemas y estrategias diarios para apoyar a nuestra comunidad:

Las prácticas de Intervenciones y Apoyo para el Comportamiento Positivo (PBIS) incluyen expectativas de comportamiento para toda la escuela (Seguridad, Amabilidad, Respeto y Responsabilidad), una estructura escolar para abordar las preocupaciones de comportamiento (Matriz de Comportamiento, enlace) y la enseñanza explícita de las normas.

Todos los miembros del personal de Columbia otorgan «Puntos Astro» por comportarse de forma segura, amable, respetuosa o responsable. Los puntos se registran en línea mediante la aplicación DOJO. Se invita a las familias a conectarse con la clase de sus hijos para recibir información actualizada sobre los puntos obtenidos. Los alumnos pueden canjear sus puntos en la tienda de la escuela por artículos como aperitivos, refrescos, juguetes antiestrés, libros, etc.

Los alumnos que superan las expectativas reciben una ficha que pueden canjear inmediatamente por un pequeño premio en la torre de fichas de la secretaría.

Los premios Astro se entregan mensualmente. Los alumnos reciben un reconocimiento por cumplir sus objetivos académicos y de comportamiento.

El personal y los alumnos tienen la oportunidad de enviarse mensajes de agradecimiento entre ellos, que se leen a diario durante los anuncios matutinos.

Se elogia verbalmente a todos los alumnos que cumplen con las expectativas.

Las aulas individuales pueden añadir programas de incentivos adicionales a su discreción.

Oportunidades de liderazgo estudiantil a través del Consejo Estudiantil

Actividades extracurriculares, entre las que se incluyen Girls on the Run, la orquesta, el coro, el club cultural y el club STEM

Las necesidades básicas se cubren mediante el banco de alimentos mensual, las bolsas de comida de fin de semana de KidsEat, Operation School Bell, Sub for Santa, comidas de Acción de Gracias, kits de higiene, Big Smiles (atención dental), revisiones de la vista y la audición, y mucho más.

El Distrito Escolar de Jordan ofrece recursos de salud mental y apoyo, entre los que se incluyen el Centro de Educación Familiar de Jordan y el Programa de Acceso a la Salud Mental

Nuestros profesionales de salud mental escolar (orientador y psicólogo) están formados y cuentan con el apoyo de la administración del distrito para seguir las mejores prácticas actuales en materia de prevención e intervención.

Intervenimos mediante alertas tempranas, supervisión de contenidos y herramientas de denuncia anónima, con el apoyo de especialistas del distrito, para identificar y apoyar a los alumnos que puedan estar en situación de riesgo. Utilizamos las encuestas Panorama tres veces al año para supervisar y evaluar el bienestar emocional de los alumnos, sus habilidades de afrontamiento, su resiliencia y los factores de riesgo.

Ofrecemos a los alumnos una sala de bienestar donde pueden relajarse y regular sus emociones.

Plan de prevención del suicidio

Los profesionales de salud mental y los administradores de nuestra escuela reciben formación y revisan anualmente las directrices de intervención ante el riesgo de suicidio del distrito, con el apoyo del Equipo de Servicios Estudiantiles del Distrito de Jordan.

Utilizamos la aplicación SafeUT y BARK para supervisar contenidos y realizar denuncias anónimas.

Todo el personal titulado de nuestra escuela participa en formación sobre prevención del suicidio para la renovación de su licencia.

Los alumnos identificados como en riesgo de suicidio reciben intervenciones y apoyo adecuados a sus necesidades individuales, lo que puede incluir una entrevista de cribado (CSSR-S), contacto con los padres o tutores, un plan de seguridad, recomendaciones o derivaciones de salud mental (JFEC, MHAP, etc.), una reunión de reincorporación y un seguimiento periódico.

Se imparten y debaten semanalmente lecciones de desarrollo de habilidades sociales y emocionales, que se imparten por turnos y en clase, y luego se repasan a lo largo de la semana.

Nuestro Centro de Bienestar está a disposición de todos los alumnos para que practiquen habilidades esenciales de autorregulación y gestión de las emociones, ofreciendo a los alumnos un descanso y un momento para recargar energías si están pasando por dificultades.

Plan de prevención del acoso escolar, el acoso y la discriminación

Nuestro equipo escolar revisa de forma proactiva los datos relevantes sobre el clima escolar, la seguridad y el acoso escolar, identificando a las poblaciones vulnerables (por ejemplo, grupos raciales y étnicos, jóvenes LGBTQ, estudiantes con discapacidades) y los espacios específicos donde es probable que se produzca el acoso, para planificar los apoyos en consecuencia.

El personal de nuestra escuela está formado en los procedimientos escolares para reconocer, denunciar (SafeUT, supervisión de contenidos, etc.) y responder a los incidentes de acoso escolar.

La administración documenta los incidentes de conducta en Skyward.

Los alumnos implicados en incidentes de acoso escolar, ya sea como víctimas, agresores o testigos, reciben apoyo adaptado a sus necesidades individuales, lo que puede incluir evaluaciones de riesgo de suicidio, asesoramiento y servicios de salud mental (es decir, la escuela
