  15. Ignition:9th Grade Transition Program Purpose • The Ignition program is designed to support the transition of students into the high school. The purpose of the program is to provide students with a support system while teaching them how to use the resources at the high school and advocate for themselves. Structure • All 9th grade students are assigned an upper classman mentor who will provide them support in structured and unstructured settings throughout the school year. Mentors undergo a rigorous selection process and are trained. • A full day Freshman Orientation takes place annually at the end of August. Incoming Freshman meet their mentors and participate in a day of team building activities to acquaint them with the high school and help them develop relationships. • Ignition teams are grouped by their 9th grade PE classes. The Ignition advisor pushes into their PE classes and runs workshops with them throughout the school year. Results • Feedback from students and parents has been overwhelmingly positive. Students feel connected to the school community early in their freshman year, are comfortable advocating for themselves and seek available resources as needed.

  16. Instructional Support Team (IST) Purpose and Structure • The purpose of the Instruction Support Team (IST) is to ensure all students receive the support needed to help them succeed academically, socially and emotionally. The committee consists of content area teacher representatives, guidance counselors, social workers and administrators and meets daily. The content area teachers act as the liaison for their assigned curricular department(s). Process • The IST reviews and analyzes student data (such as attendance, real-time and longitudinal grades, assessments, behavior, nurse and guidance/social worker visits, etc.) From this analysis, recommendations are made using the RTI model. • A meticulous RTI plan and referral process is in place, articulated at the beginning of the school year annually at the opening faculty meeting and followed up in writing by administration. • Student progress is monitored frequently. If the student fails to show significant improvement through the recommended interventions, the IST may refer the student for Level 1 testing with the school psychologist if deemed appropriate. Results • Many student issues are discovered, discussed and action plans implemented regarding students’ academic, social and emotional success.  Student grades, assessments, attendance and behavior data are periodically reviewed after the initial referral and documented and acted upon accordingly.

  17. Natural Helper Program Purpose and Selection: • Natural Helpers has been a key form of support for students in grades 9-12. Students are selected for this program through a process that involves a confidential survey. The results of the survey are compiled and student officers assist in the selection process. Natural Helpers are not only selected based upon votes. They do not accept multiple members of the same social group. The goal is to identify potential student leaders from many social groups within the high school that others would go to if they needed advice or were in crisis. Training: • Students selected attend an orientation, along with their parents, in June. • Students also attend an intensive, three day long overnight training. Students learn to identify and assist others in crisis. They learn about resources available to help others and how to assist others in accessing those resources. • Ongoing training and reflection takes place throughout the school year. Results: • This program has proven to be successful as students involved in Natural Helpers have brought many important student situations forward including cutting issues, misuse of social media, drug use, depression and students with suicidal ideations. As a result, appropriate support staff was able to intervene and provide the students and their families with proper support and resources both internally and externally.
