BIT/CARE Forms are for any and all student-related concerns. BIT/CARE forms can be used for MORE than disciplinary issues/ violations. The forms are ALSO for concerns over a student's well-being. We are working to update the form to include a "Student Well-Being" option. In the meantime, please submit forms for student well-being concerns by selecting "Concerning Behavior" in the drop-down menu under the "Nature of this Report" section. Under the "Concern" section select "Student Concern" and leave the "Conduct Violation" section blank. Please provide as much information under the description section and our multidisciplinary BIT/CARE team will act quickly to determine how to best help the student.
