We will promote the well-being of staff and students to create a safe, inclusive, and productive educational environment. When individuals feel supported, valued, and emotionally secure, they are more engaged, resilient, and better able to contribute positively to the school community. For students, well-being is closely linked to academic success, attendance, behavior, and long-term life outcomes. For staff, high levels of well-being correlate with increased job satisfaction, reduced burnout, and greater effectiveness in teaching and leadership roles.

1. Continue SEL, PBIS, and Restorative Practices training for staff.

2. Use Daily Announcements and Classroom Meetings to implement positive affirmations, SEL and PBIS Lessons, promote feelings of belonging, and increase cultural awareness.

3. Implement and integrate SEL strategies across the curriculum.

4. School counselors will conduct small group lessons based on SEL Competencies.

5. Increase opportunities for student, staff, and family voice and leadership.
