Time Sensitive - SY2024-2025 Student Transportation Survey

All SouthTech Schools students wishing to utilize transportation services must complete a transportation survey using the applicable link below:

New/Current Students Enrolling at either STP or STA (includes all incoming 6th and 9th graders regardless of the school previously attended): https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfcG2GTep48yRG4gArbzZ-0spK5-I86_fIlNtvyqNgqz9Gw1A/viewform?usp=sf_link

Completing the transportation survey indicates a student’s interest in riding the bus next school year, but does not guarantee the student a bus assignment. Students will be assigned bus passes on a first-come, first-serve basis.

SouthTech Academy is a Silver FLPBIS Model School!

Time to celebrate! Our school has recently been recognized for our work implementing a school-wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) framework. PBIS is an evidence-based three-tiered prevention framework designed to improve and integrate all data, systems, and practices impacting student outcomes. National research shows that full implementation of PBIS leads to reduced exclusionary discipline and improved student and
teacher outcomes.

By establishing the PBIS framework, we are developing the skills of the students and adults, making system changes to our school environment to enhance school climate, acknowledging appropriate behavior, and using data to identify needed support for our students and teachers.

As a result of this work, we are being recognized by the FLPBIS Project for achieving Silver PBIS Model School status. This award demonstrates our commitment to positive outcomes for all students and helps us celebrate our efforts as we progress toward full implementation of PBIS.
