Lindbergh Schools will administer the Social, Academic, Emotional, Behavior Risk Screener (SAEBRS) survey two times this year. The upcoming screening window begins on Oct. 1.

This building-wide social-emotional learning (SEL) screening survey serves two purposes:

1. SEL Screening helps the district to evaluate the effectiveness of district-level mental health and social and emotional programming.

2. SEL screening identifies areas of strengths and needs for individual students in grades K-12.

More about the SAEBRS SEL Screening Survey:

There are two components to the K-5 SAEBRS survey:

1. Teacher observation risk-rating scale (referred to as SAEBRS)

2. Student-rater screening survey (referred to as mySAEBRS).

SAEBRS is a 19-item rating scale completed by the classroom teacher and based on teacher observations. It is used to help monitor student strengths and areas of concern. This will be completed by all teachers in grades K-5.

mySAEBRS is a 20-item student-rater screening tool. Students respond to computer-based questions aligned to social, academic, and emotional behaviors. This will be administered only in grades 3-5.

Both SAEBRS and mySAEBRS screen for strengths and areas of concern aligned to the following domains:

• Social Development: Students’ ability to understand social norms, empathize, and understand the perspectives of others.

• Academic Development: Skills necessary for students to be prepared for, participate in and benefit from academic instruction.

• Emotional Development: Students’ ability to regulate internal states, adapt to change and respond to stressful or challenging events.

This document includes sample screening questions on the mySAEBRS and SAEBRS screening surveys.

SAEBRS Questions

If you would like more information regarding the importance of SEL screening surveys or you would like to opt your child(ren) out of the 2024-25 SAEBRS survey, click here. You will need to complete an opt-out form for each child enrolled in the district.

Consequences of Hoax School Threats

Due to an uptick of hoax threats in our area, the FBI St. Louis Field Office is reminding the public of the consequences of making a hoax threat against a school or other public place.

Issuing a threat—even over social media, via text message, or through e-mail—is a federal crime. Those who post or send these threats can receive up to five years in federal prison, or they can face state or local charges.

In addition to consequences for individuals who issue threats, there is also a significant societal cost. Schools and law enforcement agencies have limited resources, and responding to hoax threats diverts officers and disrupts student learning. The threats can also cause severe emotional distress to students, school personnel, and parents.

What Should I Do?

• Don’t ever post or send any hoax threats online … period.

• If you are a target of an online threat, alert your local law enforcement immediately.

• If you see a threat of violence posted on social media, immediately contact local law enforcement or your local FBI office.

• Members of the public can always submit a tip to the FBI at tips.fbi.gov.

• Courage2Report Missouri is another option to make an anonymous tip. Report online or call 1-866-748-7047, or text “C2R” to 738477.

• Notify authorities but don’t share or forward the threat until law enforcement has had a chance to investigate—this can spread misinformation and cause panic.

• If you are a parent or family member, know that some young people post these threats online as a cry for attention or as a way to get revenge or exert control. Talk to your child about the proper outlet for their stress or other emotions, and explain the importance of responsible social media use and the consequences of posting hoax threats.
