Who has Access to the Den

WHO ACCESSES? 

  • SICK STUDENTS.  Please use an e-hallpass or call the main office to request security to escort if unsteady. Call Sydney White (5603) if the student requires a wheelchair escort. Call 911 if it is a medical emergency and then call Sydney to notify her of the student’s name and that a call has been made.
  • STUDENTS WITH MEDICATIONS.  These students have parent/doctor protocols in place with our nurse, Nancy Haning.  
  • STUDENTS WITH BREAK PASS ACCOMMODATIONS. Students with break passes will now report directly to THE DEN. They will not walk the halls/wander. Their time and activities will be monitored. Please use e-hallpass for this purpose.
  • STUDENTS WITH CLASSROOM INCIDENTS- LOW LEVEL. Students having difficulty regulating, disrupting after multiple interventions, etc., may be sent (at teacher discretion). For repeated low level incidents, teachers may complete TuHS Behavior Tracker & Disciplinary Referral as per the TuHS Leveled Sanctions if the behavior continues after the teacher has partnered with the parent(s)/guardian(s). Students will be expected to regulate and identify why they were unable to access the support provided in the classroom setting (by the teacher).  Den-level interventions will be tracked. You may follow up with Jessica Renhard (jrendhard@ttsd.k12.or.us; x5667) regarding these incidents and can expect communication from an adult who engages with them in this space. 


WHAT ELSE HAPPENS HERE? 

  • ATTENDANCE CONCERNS.  Stephanie Kensinger (skensinger@ttsd.k12.or.us; x5769) and Jessica Renhard (jrenhard@ttsd.k12.or.us; x5667) are tasked with supporting Re-Engagement. Please submit a TuHS Behavior Tracker & Disciplinary Referral if you are concerned about a student who is habitually missing your class despite efforts to intervene. 

  • CONFLICT RESOLUTION and TRAUMA INFORMED CARE.  Nearly every staff member will be trained in both areas. Reports of prior trauma, bullying, or conflict can be referred to THE DEN. 

  • MULTICULTURAL COORDINATOR, Sindy Avila Gutierrez. The office is located in THE DEN. 


WHAT GOES TO ADMINISTRATION? 

  • HIGH-LEVEL INCIDENTS- For classroom or hallway incidents that involve safety (threats, illicit substances, direct, biased-language, weapons), please call Liz Baca (5604). A security person/administrator will be sent to your room immediately. You may follow up with the administrator attached to the student’s alpha regarding these incidents. You may be asked to write up your observations of the incident or write an Incident Referral via TuHS Behavior Tracker & Disciplinary form.
