Student Services
Welcome!
Student Services is committed to supporting the academic and social success of all Unit 5 students by providing comprehensive services in the areas of discipline, attendance, and social-emotional learning (SEL). Our goal is to create safe, supportive, and inclusive learning environments where students can thrive both inside and outside of the classroom. We work closely with families, staff, and community partners to ensure every student has the resources and support they need to be successful. This includes helping students build strong social-emotional skills, fostering positive behavior, encouraging regular school attendance, and implementing fair and consistent disciplinary practices.

Attendance
Strive for 5 is Unit 5’s school-wide attendance campaign that sets a clear, simple goal: be in school 5 days each week and miss fewer than 5 days all year.
Student Discipline
Unit 5 is committed to restorative discipline as a way to improve student behavior and academic performance.
MTSS and PBIS
MTSS stands for Multi-Tiered System of Support. At McLean County Unit 5, all of our schools use Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) as part of our MTSS.
