Graves ES will provide learning opportunities for students and staff to ensure students are mentally and emotionally healthy to learn by utilizing data to respond to specific student needs.

Staff Well-Being 

1. Distribute a monthly SEL Calendar for the staff to view various self-care activities they participate in which will include the use of the Wellness Room.

2. Collaboratively work with the SEL and PBIS committees to ensure the delivery of the training supports one another rather than being discussed in isolation.

Student Well-Being

1. Explore more ways to share SEL ideas with the parents which will include the new SEL learning where information can be sent home in the parents’ home language.

2. Incorporate breathing exercises and a yoga segment during SEL on Wellness Wednesdays to teach the staff and students ways to partake of various brain break activities.

3. Chronic absenteeism will need to be addressed heavily, with parents, during the 2023-2024 school year (ex. holding SARC meetings with Social Worker, educating parents about the importance of attendance, and include a message about attendance at gatherings and school issued communication).
