Potty Training: What You need to know.

TUSD and California Department of Education Guidance

Travis Unified School District
Travis USD strongly encourages you to potty train your child before the start of the school year. Staff will not be responsible for changing soiled clothes or diapers. Students will be directed to the school office to change if they are wet or wait for their parents/guardians to assist. Students with special education and related services who are on an Individual Education Plan (IEP) or Section 504 plan will have services and accommodations implemented in compliance with their IEP or Section 504 Plan.
TK classrooms have and/or are located near a bathroom. Teachers will encourage students to use the bathroom during breaks and will access additional staff to support bathroom breaks throughout the program.

California Department of Education Guidance
A school district, COE, or charter school must offer TK and kindergarten classes for all age-eligible children to attend, regardless of their toilet training status. LEAs can decide how to address the needs of non-toilet-trained age-eligible TK students to ensure they are able to attend TK and kindergarten classes. If the child has an IEP, accommodations should be addressed in the IEP meeting.

Frequently Asked Questions.

Q: Do TUSD students have to be potty-trained?
A: Although non-potty students will not be denied enrollment, TUSD strongly encourages parents to ensure their child is fully potty trained before enrolling.

Q: What if my child has a medical condition that impacts independent bathroom use?
A: Contact the District Nurse to discuss your child's medical condition.

Q: How will TUSD address the needs of non-toilet-trained age-eligible students?
A: In partnership with the parent/caregiver, TUSD will develop a support plan for general education students who are not yet fully potty-trained, which may include:

The use of pull ups until the student is fully potty trained - at parent/caregiver expense.
A schedule and log to support bathroom use.
Reward system
Parent/caregiver provided supply of pull ups, changes of clothing, wipes, zip bags for soiled items.
A 3-person deep schedule for support, consisting of the parent/caregiver and two emergency contacts.

Definition of "Fully Potty Trained"

Fully potty trained means that the student:

comes to school in big kid underpants (not pull-ups)
can communicate a need to use the bathroom
can independently take care of toileting (pull down underpants, sit on toilet or stand at urinal, and void the bowels or bladder)
can independently manage related hygiene (can access toilet paper, wipe, place used toilet paper in the toilet bowl, flush, pull up underpants without assistance, and wash and dry hands)

An occasional accident would be acceptable, and the definition of "occasional" may vary from student to student.
