Thankfully, we have a solid structure to build on. Having prioritized SEL for the past four years, our teachers, assistant principal, SEL coaches, and afterschool care staff are collaborating to create equitable learning environments in support of all students. We also have expanded services to hone in on and address the specific needs of our students and families through our Wellness Team, which consists of a full-time school nurse, full-time school psychologist, full-time counselor, and full-time restorative approaches practitioner.

 

We’re not flying solo. With help from the Wallace Foundation, we benefit from numerous external partnerships that reinforce and supplement our work once the formal school day is over. Notably, Jewish Family Services provides access to mental health therapy and wraparound supports for families. Guidance from the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) has been informing our long-term efforts, and most recently, a new resource from CASEL and 40 other organizations is supporting those strategies.
