Prevention Plan

At Eastlake Elementary, the Health and Wellness of each student is our top priority. We have many successful steps already in place to ensure that students and teachers are taught skills to be successful in the school setting and feel physically and emotionally safe. We work on preventing bullying and violence and teach students skills to ask for support when needed from a trusted adult.

Eastlake Elementary Prevention Plan 2024-25

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

  • Our school teaches Second Step to teach many skills for emotional well-being
  • Our school counselor teaches social and emotional lessons to each class throughout the year to support our students. 
  • Our school provides access to District mental health and support resources through Student Services, including the Jordan Family Education Center and Mental Health Access Program.
  • Our school provides access to academic support from 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, supported by 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.
  • Our school has created a wellness room for every teacher and student to have access to a safe, calming environment.

Suicide Prevention Plan

  • Our school’s mental health providers and administrators are trained on and review District suicide risk intervention guidelines annually with support from Jordan District’s Student Services Team.
  • Our school teaches Second Step to teach many skills for emotional well-being.
  • All of our school’s licensed staff participate in suicide prevention training for their license renewal.
  • Students identified who may be at risk of suicide receive interventions and support appropriate to their individual needs, which may include a screening interview (CSSR-S), parent/guardian contact, a safety plan, mental health recommendations/referrals (JFEC, MHAP, etc.), a re-entry meeting, and regular follow-up.

Bullying, Harassment, and Discrimination Prevention Plan

  • Our school team proactively reviews relevant data on school climate, safety, and bullying by identifying vulnerable populations (e.g., racial and ethnic groups, LGBTQ youth, students with disabilities) and specific spaces where bullying may be likely to plan supports accordingly.
  • Our school’s staff is trained on school procedures for recognizing, reporting (SafeUT, content monitoring, etc.), and responding to bullying incidents.
  • Students involved in incidents of bullying as targets, aggressors, or witnesses receive support for their individual needs, which may include suicide risk assessments, counseling and mental health services (i.e., school mental health team, JFEC, MHAP), Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA), Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP), a student wellness plan and/or parent/guardian contact—recognizing that targets, aggressors, and witnesses of bullying are more susceptible to school problems.

Violence Prevention Plan

  • Our school’s administrators are trained on the Comprehensive School Threat Assessment Guidelines (C-STAG), along with other members of our school’s threat assessment team, including our administration and school psychologist.
  • Our school has a process for timely response to school threats using Comprehensive School Threat Assessment Guidelines (C-STAG) and its decision tree. This includes warning potential victims and their parents/guardians.
  • Our school’s staff and students are aware of school procedures for recognizing and reporting (SafeUT, content monitoring, etc.) threats of violence.
  • Students who are affected by or who make threats of violence receive interventions and support appropriate to their individual needs, which may include problem-solving, C-STAG interviews, suicide risk assessments, Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA), Restorative Conferencing, Mediation, a Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP), counseling and mental health services (i.e., school mental health team, JFEC, MHAP) a student wellness plan and/or parent contact.

Additional Strategies

  • Our school has created a behavior committee consisting of administration, school psychologist, and teachers to meet throughout the year to assess and address student concerns and needs.
