The Student Services Department oversees programs that directly affect students and families. These programs address the academic and social needs of students through campus-based initiatives which focus on safety, health, wellness, discipline management and attendance. The goal of the Student Services Department is to ensure that each student is successful at school, home, and in the community.

Discipline Management

Discipline management is viewed by Pine Tree Independent School District as a way to better understand students and the problems they face in today's world. The focal point for action is the students' awareness that a partnership is formed between the school and parents to address student needs and problems. The root cause of unacceptable behavior must be dealt with if a change is to be brought about.

Health and Wellness

In an effort to educate the whole person, Pine Tree ISD actively works to educate students about a range of health-related issues. From exercise and weight, to nutrition and disease prevention, you will see regular dissemination of information and topical discussions about health and wellness. By facilitating learning through the support and promotion of good nutrition and physical activity, schools contribute to the basic health status of children.

Truancy

If a student is absent or tardy from school for any reason other than one of those specified as an excused absence or if the student has excessive tardies the student will be considered truant and will receive disciplinary action.

Safe and Drug Free Schools

PTISD coordinates prevention, intervention plans and programs designed to help ensure the maintenance of safe and drug-free schools by using all resources effectively and efficiently so that student achievement will be improved for all students. To achieve this goal we must work cooperatively and collaboratively with school system staff, our interagency partners, community members and parents.

Bullying Policy

Bullying is prohibited by the District as well as any retaliation against a student or person who reports an incident of bullying. Pine Tree ISD Board Policy FFI(LOCAL) establishes guidelines for reporting bullying. Once the campus principal or designee has received notification that a student may have experienced bullying, they will conduct an investigation as outlined in policy FFI(LOCAL). The campus administrator will complete a “Bullying Incident Report Sheet” to ensure the District has followed the properguidelines. Read more.
