In order to continue to increase Kanoheda Elementary School’s empathetic impact, we will promote student and staff wellbeing through social emotional learning (SEL) opportunities, physical and mental health resources, and prioritizing self-care. 

Student Wellbeing 

To support student wellbeing, we will provide daily opportunities for students to learn needed social and emotional lessons through our Morning Meetings. Staff will participate in professional development (PD) focused on restorative practices. We will continue to fund an additional counselor to reduce our student to counselor ratio and provide more support to students and families.

1. Implement daily instruction to support student growth and development socially and emotionally.

2. Schoolwide Professional Development: Staff members will participate in professional development focused on culturally responsive teaching and restorative practices.

3. Maintain consistent support teams per grade level that will include a counselor, assistant principal, and instructional coach to better support student needs and families.

Staff Wellbeing

To support staff wellbeing, we will offer resources and opportunities for all to focus on self-care, healthy decision making, and meaningful rest. Through our SEL Leaders, Adult SEL Team, and leader support, we will foster staff wellness and promote a positive School Climate. 

1. SEL Leader Team: Select teacher leaders will participate in ongoing training and develop PD sessions for the staff based on their trainings.

2. KES Adult SEL Team: The Adult SEL Team will continue to assess the needs of the staff and identify ways to promote wellness and a positive work environment.
