Social and Emotional Well-Being

Services:

• Core services are services all students receive and are delivered by classroom teachers and a variety of staff. They include things like having common classroom expectations and routines to provide a positive, engaging classroom.
• Targeted services are for smaller groups of students. These include interventions such as small group instruction to build a specific social skill.
• Individualized services may result in special education services or therapeutic supports like in-school mental health services and counseling.

Targeted and individual supports and interventions are delivered by staff trained in the specific intervention they deliver. Most staff are employed by the district – school psychologists, behavior specialists, social skills specialists. Some partnerships exist to enhance our capabilities and capacity in specific areas.

In addition to services offered at school, we also have connections in the community. We often help students and families find and access a variety of community resources they need. Examples include helping families with housing and food insecurity.
