Residential Services provides a homelike environment that encourages students to attain proficiency and independence in all aspects of daily living, to the extent of each child’s individual potential.

Students are evaluated as to their skills and performance in techniques of daily living. Residential staff, in conjunction with parents and education staff, determine skill areas in which students will receive instruction. Students are taught strategies that enable them to develop social skills, emotional stability and to care for their personal needs more independently.

Social competencies are reinforced through planned recreational activities. Recreation programs teach students to develop lifelong leisure skills and interests through a wide variety of activities made available on campus and in the community of Vancouver.

GOAL STATEMENT

The goal of Residential Services is to provide an environment that encourages each student to reach his/her maximum potential and to strive for independence.  Students will grow in social awareness, self-confidence, and learn to appreciate creative leisure.

INTRODUCTION

The cottage settings are located in four buildings on campus: Watson, Clarke, Hall, and Chapman. A kitchen, living room, bathroom, and laundry room are located in each cottage.  Students are provided a room with a bed, dresser space, closet, bulletin board, and desk. Students most often have a private room to themselves. Residents are encouraged to bring items from home to place in their rooms to make them more personal.  Many residents bring stereos, recorders, etc.  Each cottage has computers, a television, Brailler, CCTV, electronic equipment, and a supply of toys and games for residents to use.

Based on assessments, students residing on campus are evaluated as to their skills and performance in techniques of daily living.  Progress reports are written at the end of each quarter and are submitted to the parents along with progress reports from the school department.  Residential staff provide instruction to students during the course of the school year.

Communications between parents and cottage staff or teachers may be initiated through student notebooks or by monthly telephone calls to review the child's progress and solicit parental input.  Parent involvement and input is always welcomed and encouraged in relation to any phase of programming for the student.

COMMON QUESTIONS ASKED BY PARENTS

"How often does my child come home?":  Your child is scheduled to go home each weekend and for the holidays.  Transportation is provided on closure days by WSSB to designated stops near your home area.  If your child is needed at home prior to closing day, the child may be excused from school, but the transportation must be arranged by the parent.

"How much do the services my child receives cost?":  There is no cost to students or their families for instructional and residential services if the custodial parent(s) live in the state of Washington.  Families provide for their child's clothing, medical care, personal needs, recreational spending, and special fees.  Some scholarships are available to students in need.

"May my child bring personal stereos, games, or toys?":  We encourage students to bring some of their favorite toys to play with and share with other students.  Many students bring radios, stereo/CD players, laptops, stuffed toys, and games. 

"When am I allowed to visit my child at school?":  We are always pleased to have parents visit the school and cottages.  Please inform the Director of On-Campus Programs, in advance, of your intention to visit during school hours, or the Associate Principal for After School and Evening Programs when visiting cottages. It is imperative that you notify the appropriate staff person if you plan to take your child from school or from a cottage area. This helps the school assure the safety and protection of your child.

"May friends and relatives visit my child at school?":  We encourage visitors to come see your child.  Permission must be granted (or denied) by the parent and is included in our application form. Please provide advance notice when visitors are coming.

"Whom can I talk with about my child's progress?":  RLC’s, school nurses, teachers, the Director of On-Campus Programs, IEP advocates, the Associate Principal for the Day and After School and Evening Programs, and the Superintendent are always willing to discuss matters relating to your child.  To encourage close home/school ties, yearly conferences are scheduled for the parents of all children.  However, please feel free to call or stop at school any time you have questions

BANNED MATERIALS

In order to promote an environment which encourages positive growth and self-esteem for all students, WSSB has banned a number of materials from campus.  The banned materials include, but are not limited to, the following: alcohol, drug paraphernalia, drugs, fireworks, guns, knives, and pornography. Music, videos, posters, magazines, and graffiti which promote racism, violence, suicide, drugs, etc., are not allowed.

If you have questions regarding any banned material, or if you are not sure whether or not the material is allowable, please check with the Associate Principal for After School and Evening Programs.

BIKE RIDING AND WHEELED RECREATION

Students, with prior permission, may bring their own personal bicycles, scooters, skate boards, etc. from home to ride; however, we do have a number of bikes available for student use in the recreation department.  Most areas of the campus are restricted from bike riding because of the potential danger to students walking about the campus.  Off campus riding is limited to daylight hours only and students must first obtain the following before permission is granted to ride bikes off campus unsupervised:

1. Bicycle must pass approved safety inspection.

2. Student must pass approved bike safety program.

3. Written parental permission must be obtained.

4. Helmet and pads (as appropriate) must be worn at all times.

5. Authorization for independent off-campus travel.

Students are responsible for their own bicycles and will need a safety lock to deter theft.  Indoor storage areas are not available; consequently, bicycles may have to be secured outside the cottages.

BUYING, SELLING, BORROWING, OR LENDING

Students should not borrow, lend, buy, sell, or give any person­ally owned items to others.  We need parental support and cooperation in this area.  Parents are urged to question their child regarding possessions or items brought home on the weekend when they are not fully aware of how the child came into possession of the item.  Anytime you have a question, please call the cottage and ask for more information.

CHECKING IN/OUT WITH STAFF

All students are expected to check in and out with cottage staff when leaving their cottage areas, whether going to class, off campus, or to recreational activities.  Residential counselors may deny permission to leave the cottage if chores or homework have not been completed.  Hours of independent off-campus privileges vary according to the age and abilities of the student and are limited to daylight hours unless night travel is approved by the orientation and mobility staff.

CHURCH ACTIVITIES

WSSB does not favor any religious viewpoint.  This in no way restricts your child from taking part in religious activities off campus. Parents requesting their child attend specific church activities, prayer meetings, Bible study, etc., should make arrangements through the local church and then provide WSSB with information regarding the day, time, and transportation arrangements.

CLOTHING/DRESS

Students travel about campus to attend classes and need appropriate clothing for inclement weather.  It is suggested that enough clothing be left at home so the student does not have to take clothes home on the weekend.

Coats, jackets, and hats for all students must be appropriately marked regardless of your child's age.  Clothing should be marked with a permanently printed name tag which should be sewn on (pressed on labels are soon lost). Tags may be ordered from "Name Maker Inc." (800-241-2890) (www.namemaker.com). 

Local day students should label all coats, hats, swim suit, cane and backpack. 

The following is a suggested clothing list for residential students.  Please send enough clothing to meet the needs of your child.

5 matched school outfits
1 dress outfit
7 complete sets of underwear
2 pairs of shoes
1 sweater or jacket
1 bathrobe (required)
1 winter coat (required)
1 swimsuit (required)

Personal items:

Cane
Cosmetics
Toothpaste
Toothbrush
Deodorant
Backpack
Shampoo
Nail clippers
Sanitary supplies
Razor
School supplies
Tissues
Hair brush
Comb
Talc powder

Students may wish to duplicate some items to keep in their PE locker.

If your child is not toilet-trained, please send an ample supply of clothing.  This applies to both residential and day students.  For those with bladder and or bowel control issues, swim diapers are required in addition to a swimsuit.

CURFEW

Each cottage has individual rules, consequently residents must check with their cottage staff to confirm the rules regarding curfew.  If a resident is off campus shopping, dining, attending a concert or sporting event, etc., a later curfew is allowed.  Most campus activities are completed by 9:00 pm

DAY STUDENTS

Students who live within 45 miles or one hour from the school will reside at home and are day students. Transportation for the school day is provid­ed under con­tract by the ESD 112.  Ar­rival and departure at WSSB will co­incide with the school day as closely as pos­sible.  Parents wish­ing to enroll their child as a resi­dent student may request residential placement through the IEP program plan as part of the need for more intensive residential experiences.

The Superintendent has designated the Associate Principal for After School and Evening Programs to approve individual day students to spend an overnight in the cottage if the request meets the following criteria:

• Student desires to take part in a school-sponsored program that necessitates staying overnight for logistical reasons, i.e. if event is over after 10:00 pm.  Prior to 10:00 pm parents/guardians are required to pick up their child. 

• The parents give written permission for the overnight stay; and

• Parents must provide written notice requesting overnight stay 72 hours in advance.

Day students are welcome to participate in afternoon activities.  They will be assigned a cottage while on campus and will follow the rules of the cottage or obey all rules and regulations when they are on campus or under the jurisdiction of the school.  Whenever the situation deems it necessary, parents must accompany the student to events to maintain staffing ratios. Transpor­tation to and from WSSB for these fun­ctions will be pro­vided by the family and should coincide with the scheduled activity.

HARASSMENT

Harassment is taken seriously and addressed as outlined in WSSB’s established student conduct standards and disciplinary process.

MAIL

Student mail will be directed to the student and must be opened by the stu­dent.  When a read­er is needed, the person reading the mail is chosen by the student. This could be a staff person, friend, or peer. Staff mem­bers selected to act as readers will not disclose the contents of the mail to others. It is suggested that mail for younger students, or for those unable to open their own mail, be addressed to a staff member or reader.

MEALS AND SNACKS

Every effort is made to provide nutritious meals which are served in the dining room and cottages. Breakfasts and dinners are served family style in the cottages.  Lunches are served cafeteria style in the dining room.  There is no charge for the breakfast or dinner meal for students.  For student lunch prices, or free and reduced price applications, call the 360-696-6321.

All food and beverages (except water) are stored in the kitchen/dining room areas in the cottages.  No food or drink in bedrooms is allowed. 

Students are required to be present for every meal unless ill or excused.  Students may obtain special permission from cottage staff to eat off campus.  It is necessary to notify the cottage staff one day in advance when plan­ning to be away from the cottage at a meal time or if a guest has been invited to dinner.

Kitchens are available for use by the students in each cottage. They are encouraged to prepare their own snacks and may be required to participate in the cook­ing program.

MUSIC TAPES/VIDEOS

In order to promote an environment which encourages positive growth and self-esteem, especially with small children present, WSSB believes certain forms of music and entertainment are not appropriate. Residents who bring music considered to promote such things as alcohol, drugs, suicide, death, violence, racism, and/or sexual content will be required to take them home. Parents are asked to screen media prior to students bringing them to school. Material on campus found to be questionable may be referred to a com­mittee made up of students and staff for a final determination. No rated R movies are allowed on campus.

OFF-CAMPUS TRAVEL

Students are encouraged to use their mobility skills when traveling off campus, shopping, or attending meetings or recreational events. Students must first be approved for such travel by the mobility instructor, have parent approval, and have approval of their RLC for the specific trip. While the student is off campus, he/­she is expected to behave in a manner which is consistent with school rules and policies.

PERSONAL POSSESSIONS

To the extent possible, personal possessions will be secured in the resident's room, storage area, or closet and will be accessible only to that resident.  (Serial numbers and model numbers of recorders and stereos will be recorded and kept in the resident's file to help in identification in the event the items are lost or stolen.)  Staff or others will not intrude into these areas, or take the resident's personal items, except when during a routine room search illegal drugs or banned materials are found in the resident's possession.  In such case the incident will be documented and materials confiscated.  Whenever possible, room searches will be conducted with the resident present. 

Personal computers, televisions and bicycles are permitted only with written permission from the Associate Principal for After School and Evening Programs.

RECREATION PROGRAM

The purpose of the recreation program is to develop life­long leisure skills and interests through a wide variety of activities made available at WSSB and in the community of Vancouver. Recreation programs are a part of the total student program and are offered to all students enrolled at WSSB. Whenever possible, students are encouraged to integrate into recreational activities within the community. Transportation is provided when possible for students who participate.

Many recreational activities extend beyond campus in the form of shopping trips, picnicking, concerts, fairs, theater, and athletic events. Although recreation programs and travel are provided at no cost to the student, entrance fees to off-campus events may be (1) paid by the student, (2) paid with the student and school sharing the costs; and/or, (3) paid by the school. Students are alerted to special events well in advance and are encouraged to make their own plans, when possible, as part of their program in gaining independence.  Students are encouraged to follow through in attending as planned.  Physical Education credits are available for some activities. To earn PE credits, prior approval must be obtained from the Director of On-Campus Programs.

SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS

Between students:
The relationship between students should be one of mutual respect.  Healthy relationships are a part of the WSSB environment (classes, meals, recreation, and most activities are co-educational).  Students who are involved in off campus organizations or who attend Vancouver community schools and develop friendships are encouraged to invite friends on campus with permission from their cottage staff. 

Relationships between students are closely monitored by staff, and parents are kept informed when the social relationship progresses beyond casual interaction.

Between Student and Staff:
The relationship between a staff member and a student should be a professional one of mutual respect. It is not appropriate for a student to have a staff member’s telephone number or address.  If a student needs to speak with a staff member the student should make an appointment at school at a time convenient for both. Staff should likewise refrain from contacting students outside of school.  Any questions or concerns a staff member may have about a student should be directed to the student’s family.

STUDENT BETTERMENT FUND

The purpose of this fund is to provide financial assis­tance to students in need of cloth­ing, personal items, books, medi­cations, etc. The fund is adminis­tered by the Super­intendent and is supported by dona­tions made by the general public.  Parents or students wishing to use this fund should make a request to the Associate Principal for After School and Evening Programs.

STUDENT STORE & LION'S DEN

The Lions Den is a snack bar located in the recreation center.  The Student Store (2nd Floor Old Main) is operated by WSSB students under the supervision of staff.

Students who work in the Lions Den and Student Store gain experience in buying, selling, and promoting of merchandise, handling cash, supervising other workers, and in general food handling.  Students working in Lions Den are required to obtain a state food handler's card which can also be used for employment elsewhere.

STUDENT USE OF TELEPHONE

Residents are permitted to make and receive telephone calls using the telephone in their cottages.  However, with only one telephone per cottage, common courtesy and the following guidelines should be followed.

1.    Telephone calls are limited to ten minutes.
2.     SCAN line usage by residents is available on a regular, but limited basis (one ten minute call per week).  Each additional call must be placed collect or use a phone card.
3.     Residents having two parents living in different locations may call both parents weekly.
4.     Residents may request privacy during phone use.

TRANSPORTATION

Chartered Bus/Van
The chartered bus is accompanied by monitors provided by WSSB that have pertinent information on students and emergency procedures.  Students leave campus for home after lunch on Friday, and return to WSSB Sunday evening unless otherwise noted on the school calendar.

When picking up your child on Fridays, please allow the monitor time to relay any messages he/she might have for you. Students being picked up by parents from campus must first notify office personnel.

On Sundays, please give all messages or medications to the bus monitor on duty.  The monitor will forward the items to the cottage, school department, nurse, or wherever needed.

All luggage should be clearly labeled with student's name and home address. The charter buses are used for trips other than transporting our students and if baggage is clearly labeled it can be quickly returned when found.  We encourage a manageable bag (backpack) for carry-on when traveling. 

WSSB cannot be held responsible for lost items.  Please notify the school immediately if luggage is missing so it can be traced through the proper channels. Advance notification when a child is bringing a special item back will prompt an immediate search if the item does not arrive.

WSSB provides lunches to students on Fridays. Parents are responsible for their child's meals for the return trip on Sundays. Snacks are provided at the cottages on Sunday evenings, but there is no dinner meal.

Telephone calls will be made to students' homes when a decision is made to postpone or cancel transportation to or from school due to adverse weather conditions.

If the student must remain at or return home during the school week for a medical appointment, family event, early vacation, etc., the parent will assume the cost of transportation.

WSSB must know two weeks in advance of any changes in a child’s travel schedule.  Please contact the Associate Principal of After School and Evening Programs at 360-696-6321 ext. 121 or e-mail at renee.corso@wssb.wa.gov.

PLANE TRAVEL
Students traveling by plane must be at the airport at least one hour prior to scheduled departure.  Students should not be left at the airport unattended as sometimes flights are cancelled due to weather conditions or mechanical problems.

In the event your child is not picked up at the airline gate within ten minutes after the scheduled time of arrival, and after airline personnel have made attempts to reach the parent, the airline will contact the police to come and pick up the child.  The child will then be placed into the care of Child Protective Services (CPS) until arrangements are made to release the child into parent’s custody.  If this action needs to be taken and results in additional costs to WSSB, parents will be asked to make restitution.

For the safety of students, parents or designated persons will be asked to show identification when picking up the child.

Keep luggage to a minimum. Carry on backpack is preferred.  If larger baggage is checked, please notify WSSB in advance, as there is minimal room in the vehicle transporting students. Additional luggage costs will be the responsibility of the parent/guardian.

If a child is ill and cannot return to WSSB as scheduled, contact the Watson Cottage staff at (360) 696-6321, ext. 146, and leave voice mail message.  The same ticket may be used for a child’s return although there may be a fee for changing the ticket, which will be the responsibility of the parent/guardian.

If a student remains at or returns home during the school week for a medical appointment, family event, early vacation, etc., parents will assume any additional costs for transportation.  It is critical that the Associate Principal of After School and Evening Programs be notified at least 4 weeks in advance of planned changes to airline itineraries, as tickets are booked well in advance to take advantage of most competitive/economical airline fares. 

AIRLINE AWARD MILES
**Airline Award miles earned are the sole property of WSSB (not the family or child).  These miles are used to assist WSSB in school year flights and helps WSSB make efficient use of limited resources.        

DAY STUDENTS
Day student transportation is arranged through ESD 112 and the rules are based on the policies of ESD 112. We suggest that you check with your local district for specific rules and regulations.  Note:  On occasion, WSSB will transport some day students to and from WSSB.  The same procedures listed below should be followed.

Some general guidelines include: 

• Have your child ready ten minutes ahead of the scheduled pickup time. 

• Call ESD 112 and WSSB immediately when you change your address or phone number. In the event of an emergency, it is essential that we have a number where you can be reached.  Please let us know two weeks in advance of your move (if changing school districts). 

• Parents who bring their child to school or take them home must notify WSSB (at least 1 hour prior to ESD scheduled pick-up time) so that ESD 112 driver can be contacted. 

• Regarding bus routes: WSSB has no control over the routes or times that are assigned to your child.  If you have questions, please call ESD 112 (360-750-7510).

• Changes in routes, drop-offs or pick-up spots require a three day advance notification (in writing).

• Parents desiring a car seat for young students must contact ESD and fulfill ESD requirements.

• Backpacks are allowed on buses.  No additional carry on items such as sleeping bags, clothing, boxes, radios, etc. will be allowed due to potential liability to driver and other students.

Visiting among students:  If your child plans to visit another student during the week or weekend, or if another student is visiting your home, transportation will not be provided by WSSB, or ESD 112.  WSSB will not accept responsibility for such visits, but will see that the arrangements for public transportation made by parents are carried out.

Parents of the visiting student should know the family of the student their child will be visiting, and the type of home environment before granting permission.

For visiting among students, both sets of parents must complete and sign an Alternate Transportation form.  Forms are available from the school secretary at (360) 696-6321, ext. 141.  Forms must be received in the school office a minimum of one-week in advance of the visit.  Parental permission via telephone will not be accepted.  Fax copies are acceptable (360-737-2120). Permission for multiple, open-ended visits will not be accepted.  Separate permission must be given for specific dates.

School administrators reserve the right to deny the permission based on known circumstances and credible information. 

Permission will not be granted for students to stay overnight at a staff persons residence regardless of parental permission.  Students will be allowed to visit staff homes for designated and planned field trips only.  Exceptions can be granted exclusively by school administrators. 

Parents should understand that WSSB will not assume responsibility for students once they have left campus.

RESIDENTIAL STUDENTS
Chartered Bus/Van: Residential students will be transported to their home weekly via chartered bus, van, plane or other arranged mode of travel.  Parents or guardians are responsible for arranging adult supervision on Fridays and Sundays and for pickup to and from transportation provided by WSSB.  On Friday’s the bus will wait no longer than 10 minutes beyond the scheduled pick up time before continuing to the next stop. On Sunday’s the van or chartered bus will not wait beyond the scheduled pick up time.  It is the responsibility of the parent to be at the designated stop 10 minutes prior to the scheduled time.  In the event the student is not picked up at the designated stop 10 minutes after the scheduled time of arrival, other arrangements may be made to deliver the student to the parents, which may result in additional transportation costs at the parents expense.  If an authorized adult is not on site to meet their child and contact cannot be established with the parent, guardian, or other designated emergency contact person, WSSB will contact CPS to assume custody of the child.

Air Travel: For students who fly home on the weekends, airline tickets are purchased one month in advance as a cost savings measure. The Associate Principal, After School/Evening Programs will contact parents on a monthly basis prior to the reserving of tickets to allow for any changes in travel. Once airline arrangements are finalized, parents assume the responsibility for a minimum $75 processing fee and any additional costs incurred due to changes in travel arrangements.  Students traveling by air are to carry belongings in a backpack or carry-on bag.  Costs for checking luggage will be the sole responsibility of the parent/guardian. If an authorized adult is not on site to meet their child and contact cannot be established with the parent, guardian, or other designated emergency contact person, WSSB will contact CPS to assume custody of the child.

Student Visitation: For visiting among students, both sets of parents must complete and sign an Alternate Transportation form. Forms are available from the school office, 360-696-6321 ext. 141. Forms must be received in the school office 30 days in advance of the visit for students who fly, and one week in advance for students who travel by chartered bus or van.  Permission via telephone will not be accepted.  Fax transmission of the signed forms will be acceptable (fax 360-737-2120).

School administrators reserve the right to deny the permission based on known circumstances and credible information.

Permission will not be granted to students to stay overnight with a staff person regardless of parental permission. Students will not be allowed to visit staff homes except for designated and planned field trips.  Exceptions can be given only by the school Superintendent. 

Parents should understand that WSSB will not assume responsibility for students once they have signed out and left campus.

TOBACCO, ALCOHOL, AND DRUGS

Because of the potential injury to health, as well as the legal implications for students under age, the use of tobacco, alcohol, and/or non-prescription drugs is prohibited. 

Tobacco: The use or possession of tobacco in any form including smokeless or look alike tobacco by students under the age of 18 is forbidden.  The use of tobacco by students over the age of 18 is limited to before or after school hours while attending WSSB.

• Students over age 18: Tobacco use is forbidden during the school day or during school sponsored activities. Smoking is forbidden on school grounds.  Tobacco must be held in cottage or school office and checked out to student before or after school.  Tobacco must be returned to office when returning to campus.  Tobacco must not be sold or shared with students under the age of 18. WAC 72-120-100.13

First offense: Conference with administrator; training on dangers of tobacco use by nurse (smoking cessation program at cost to student or family). 
Second offense: Student does not follow protocol revoked results in 3-5 day suspension.  

• Student under age 18: Possession or use of tobacco is forbidden.

First offense: Warning; parent notified both by phone and in writing; parent/student/administrator conference; education by health center on dangers of tobacco use (smoking cessation program at cost to student or family). 
Second offense: Same as first offense; plus “walking papers*” will be revoked for 7 school days.  If student has no “walking papers,” then student will be “cottaged**” for 4 days.
Third and subsequent offense:  Same as first offense plus suspension (length not to exceed 5 days.); no walking papers for remainder of semester or until reinstated by administrator.  WAC 72-120-220, 225.

Alcohol or illicit drugs:  The use or possession of alcohol or illicit substances or drug paraphernalia by any student while under the jurisdiction of WSSB is forbidden. Presence of student at WSSB after consumption of alcohol or drugs elsewhere is grounds for discipline.

*walking papers: issued and signed by Orientation and Mobility Specialists and signed by parents giving student over age 13 permission to travel off campus when accompanied by another student or students over 16 permission to travel off campus independently.
**cottaged:  equivalent to being “grounded.”  Student is not allowed to leave cottage during the evening.

VISITORS TO WSSB CAMPUS

The WSSB campus is a closed campus from dusk until dawn and it is necessary to exercise some controls on visitations to the campus by friends from the Vancouver area.  Visitors must have a purpose for being on campus and must secure a visitors pass (after hours visitor passes may be obtained from your child’s assigned cottage).  Residents are encouraged to invite their friends with a purpose in mind (e.g., staying for dinner, recreation center for crafts, gym for swimming, library for studying).  Residents should also make plans a minimum of one week in advance.  Parents and family members are also considered visitors, but fewer restrictions apply.

The residential program provides each child a cottage (home) like setting where qualified staff provide intensive instruction in all levels of daily living skills.  Residential students work with staff in the area of meal preparation, setting tables, clean up, etc.  It is the residential department’s goal to make each cottage as much of a home away from home as possible.  It is also the goal of the department to help each child gain confidence and the necessary skills that will lead to independence.  Parents are encouraged to visit their children during the school week, call or e-mail staff to keep up on their child’s progress, and become active partners in all aspects of their child’s program.  As Helen Keller stated,  “Alone we can do so little, Together we can do a lot!”
