<strong>3E</strong> brings reset families to the scottsbluff community<br />
Parenting is hard work. How do you sort through all the advice, suggestions, and philosophies to<br />
find a practical system that works for your family? Reset Families is a Positive Behavior Interventions<br />
and Supports (PBIS) and social and emotional learning approach that supports a variety of<br />
families in making sense of parenting by connecting them to an approach used in schools across<br />
the country.<br />
The Reset Families approach draws from research and best practices to help parents and caregivers<br />
create a family culture that nurtures connection even as we give our kids the redirection<br />
and support they need. Reset Families is based on Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports.<br />
When applied to the family environment, PBIS takes a proactive approach to establishing behavioral supports and skills<br />
while creating a family culture where children are able to achieve social, emotional, and academic success.<br />
Reset Families prepares you to teach your kids the lifelong skills they need to manage their own behavior, to own their<br />
mistakes, repair damage done, and move on. The result is a balance between strong relationships and accountability for<br />
behavior choices that builds trust and strengthens relationships.<br />
<strong>3E</strong> is bringing this new program to the Scottsbluff community and any interested organizations who would like to start<br />
a group are invited to attend a free two day training session on August 21st and 22nd at ESU #13. Youth organizations,<br />
faith communities, parent groups or anyone that wants to help families receive a practical approach to challenging child<br />
behaviors is welcome to attend. For more information or to RSVP contact Jodi Benson at jbenson@sbps.net.<br />
<strong>3E</strong> Hosts first ever <strong>Community</strong> new years resolution Event<br />
This past January, <strong>3E</strong> hosted the first every <strong>Community</strong> New Years<br />
Resolution event. Multiple representatives from targeted entities including<br />
Western Nebraska <strong>Community</strong> College, Educational Service<br />
Unit #13, City of Scottsbluff, the YMCA, Scottsbluff Public Schools<br />
and <strong>3E</strong> board members joined together for focused conversation<br />
with a goal of developing one common “new year’s resolution” for<br />
our youth for <strong>2019</strong> that we could all work on together. The entities<br />
involved spoke about successes and challenges for Scottsbluff<br />
youth today within the context of their organization.<br />
The purpose of the event was for the group to identify community<br />
needs and issues as well as responses. The participants discussed<br />
needs such as access to early childhood care, transitional mental<br />
health services, multicultural awareness, education and interventions,<br />
community socialization, transportation and financial needs,<br />
workforce needs and consolidation of resources. After reviewing<br />
all of these items, the groups felt that the most impactful issue was<br />
mental health. A volunteer group was formed led by Dr. Katie Carrizales<br />
of ESU#13 to focus on items such as Mental Health Awareness,<br />
homeless services, increased support programs, inpatient<br />
treatment for addiction and metal illness, services for parents, teens<br />
and families, and a behavioral residential day school program.<br />
participants hear presentations at the first annual<br />
community new years resolution event sponsored by 3e<br />
With the support of Senator Stinner, a grant has been submitted<br />
by ESU#13 to the Sherwood Foundation to request funding<br />
for a behavioral residential day school program to benefit<br />
all schools in the area. Area school districts have also created<br />
a plan for funding and usage. This group will continue to<br />
meet throughout the year and will report back to all participants<br />
at the next <strong>Community</strong> New Years Resolution Event in<br />
January of 2020.
Diversity Emerges as a new priority for <strong>3E</strong><br />
A Diversity Team has been meeting regularly this past<br />
school year. The goal of this team is work toward removing<br />
systematic barriers to student success related to<br />
diversity. One of the projects the team worked on this<br />
past school year was facilitation of interpreters for Parent<br />
Teacher Conferences. The team has defined diversity in<br />
broad terms to include, but not be limited to racial/ethnic,<br />
gender, sexuality, socio-economic, (dis)ability and other<br />
inequities and will resume work in the Fall of <strong>2019</strong>. This<br />
group will focus on the following work:<br />
• Dimensions of individual differences in learning<br />
• Inclusive education<br />
• Educational policies and practices related to diversity<br />
• Curricular and instructional frameworks for addressing<br />
diversity<br />
• The role of ethics in education<br />
• Language diversity and learning new languages<br />
• Service or experiential learning and intercultural understanding<br />
• Multicultural, cross-cultural,<br />
international and<br />
global education<br />
• Dimensions of individual<br />
differences (ethnicity,<br />
gender, race,<br />
socio-economic, indigenous,<br />
religion, sexual<br />
orientation, disability)<br />
• Cultural history, oral<br />
history and cultural<br />
‘renaissance’<br />
• Dynamics of diversity (inclusion, exclusion, assimilation,<br />
integration, pluralism)<br />
<strong>3E</strong> is looking for a part time Diversity Team Facilitator to<br />
lead this work. Interested parties should contact the SBPS<br />
District office at 308-635-6200 or info@sbps.net.<br />

priority benchmarks<br />
On the following pages, you<br />
will see a collection of data<br />
reflecting priority benchmarks<br />
developed by <strong>3E</strong> committee<br />
members in order to measure<br />
items that impact the ability of<br />
youth to be successful and environmental<br />
factors that affect<br />
the ability for children to come<br />
to school prepared to learn.<br />
Baseline data was collected<br />
last year and has been updated<br />
for this year’s report. Some<br />
data items were replaced with<br />
new items that more accurately<br />
measured these outcomes<br />
or were more practical to<br />
obtain.

safety at Home,School and the <strong>Community</strong><br />
Safety and security continues to be the most important priority at Scottsbluff Schools. Valued<br />
partnerships with Scottsbluff Police, the Communications (911) Center, Scottsbluff County Sheriff’s<br />
Office, Nebraska State Patrol, Region 22 Emergency Management and the Nebraska Department<br />
of Education’s Safety and Security Office are all sustained and strengthened each year.<br />
Additional security staff and extended responsibilities are in place for the coming school year as<br />
well as significant preemptive strategies supporting mental health and positive decision-making.<br />
Two additional Licensed Mental Health Professionals (LMHP’s) have been added to the District’s<br />
services beginning in 2018-19. These staff members will focus on threat and suicide reports and<br />
follow up. Cases of abuse, suicide and violence continue to present increasing concerns for our<br />
community as the data reflect.<br />

Early childhood care and education<br />
Scottsbluff continues to attract young families as census numbers reflect a large number of<br />
children aged birth to three as well as four and five year olds attending preschool. Preparation<br />
for kindergarten is a tremendous predictor of future success and this community continues<br />
to grow its early childhood services. With its model Sixpence Program, initiated five years ago<br />
by Senator John Harms, Scottsbluff provides a model for other communities seeking similar<br />
services for qualifying parents. Additionally, an expanding partnership with ESU-13 and Head<br />
Start will expand the number of public school preschool classrooms<br />
throughout the community.<br />

Academic Excellence<br />
Scottsbluff students’ graduation rate continues to shine with over 90% of the class of 2018 graduating on time. With<br />
several members of the <strong>2019</strong> class still in process, it appears that this trend will continue with an estimated<br />
91% rate still to be confirmed. The new Laude Honors System began in 2018 and encourages<br />
students to take challenging coursework that supports their goals and interests without prioritizing<br />
weighted grades and competitive rankings. Increasing numbers of students are choosing dual credit<br />
offerings instead of AP classes. On average, fifty students graduate with honors (3.75 and above) yearly.<br />
ACT scores are now being included in this annual report with all juniors in the State required to take<br />
the test. Graduation rates are based upon the Nebraska Department of Education State of the Schools<br />
Report released in the fall for the prior graduating year.<br />

Creating a Skilled and technical workforce<br />
Scottsbluff Schools increasing partnership with WNCC and community employers is attracting<br />
more and more students to pursue post-graduate opportunities. As highlighted by the U.S.<br />
Department of Labor’s recognition of SHS’ Youth Apprenticeship partnership with Aulick Industries,<br />
students’ preparation for the workforce and extended certifications and training is<br />
on the rise. College attendance is supported by all day shuttles that travel between the high<br />
school and college campuses.<br />
