CONFIDENTIALITY

In addition, when working with groups of students and/or parents around conflict mediation often times things are shared with the entire group in order to help mediate and problem solve.

Likewise, group counseling and/or lunch bunch has limited confidentiality; although it is strongly encouraged it cannot be guaranteed.

3. Student can self-refer

*With any referral, if there is an urgent need, students will be seen immediately.

MTSS FOCUS: CLEAR EXPECTATIONS

What is MTSS?

CUSD is making a commitment to increase the social emotional, behavior, and academic support for all of our young people. We call this focused approach to organizing and providing support: “Multi-tiered System of Supports” or “MTSS.”

Clear Expectations:

We are emphasizing the importance of clear expectations as part of our “behavior” support for all students. When schools and families establish and communicate clearly defined expectations for behavior, all students benefit.

Family Resources:

The following articles and resources are available for your family to learn more about clear expectations and strategies you can use at home:
