Supporting Toilet Learning In the Cucamonga School District

We are committed to providing inclusive and supportive environments for all students, including those with diverse toileting needs. As part of our dedication to ensuring every child has access to education, we want to inform you about our practices and procedures regarding toileting support at our school district.

Inclusive Education Mandate: According to the California Department of Education, we are mandated to offer Transitional Kindergarten (TK) and Kindergarten classes to all age-eligible children, regardless of their toileting readiness. This means we provide comprehensive support to ensure every child's participation and success.

Toileting Questionnaire During Enrollment: We administer a toileting questionnaire for all Pre-Kindergarten (PK) through Kindergarten (K) students to understand individual needs and tailor support accordingly.

General Education Students with Toileting Needs: We work with parents/guardians to develop individualized plans for students needing toileting support, ensuring their dignity and privacy are maintained at all times.

Special Education Protocol: Students with disabilities receive individualized toileting plans, adhering to safety, dignity, and privacy standards. Proper procedures are followed by trained staff, and parent involvement is encouraged throughout.

Parent Involvement and Communication: We believe in open communication and collaboration. If your child requires toileting support or if you have any concerns or questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. Your input is valuable, and we are here to support you and your child every step of the way.

Best Practices for Supporting Toileting Independence:

• Establishing Routine: Consistent toileting schedules promote independence.
• Clear Instructions: Simple language and visual aids aid understanding.
• Encouraging Self-Help Skills: Gradual independence is encouraged with minimal support.
• Promoting Hygiene Practices: Proper hygiene education fosters independence.
• Positive Reinforcement: Efforts and successes are recognized and praised.
• Collaborating with Families: Open communication reinforces consistency and support

Thank you for entrusting us with your child's education and well-being. Together, we can create a supportive and inclusive environment where every child can thrive.
