Fall Conferences

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Avon Grove Charter School continues to implement School-wide Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports (SWPBIS), a proactive approach to establishing the behavior supports and social culture needed for all students to achieve social, emotional, and academic success. Teaching and instilling positive protective factors such as our PACK (positivity, accountability, confidence and kindness) values does not always mean that we will be a school community free of risk factors. As students face a multitude of challenges, we want to ensure that we are identifying and supporting the social and emotional well-being of our students.

AGCS utilizes a Social Emotional & Behavioral universal screener, the Student Risk Screening Scale- Internalizing and Externalizing (SRSS-IE). This scale is completed twice per year (Fall and Spring around conference time) by teachers to help identify needed school-wide behavior and social-emotional supports as well as identify students who may be having challenges in school, such as following rules and expectations, loneliness or making friends. Our goal in using this universal screener is to identify school-wide instructional needs, inform the use of teacher-delivered strategies, and identify students who may need additional support. In addition to teacher feedback, students in grades 4-12 complete a short questionnaire with questions about challenging feelings, emotional regulation and supportive relationships. This feedback supplements the teacher ratings to aid in recommending additional supports for students. Screening windows are the week prior to and during Fall and Spring conferences.

Please reach out to divisional counselors and principals with any questions or concerns.

Thank you,

AGCS Student Services Team
