Ensuring the social, emotional, mental, physical, and behavioral health and well-being of all students.
Why is this urgent?
Schools that support the whole child address not only academic achievement, but also mental, physical, and behavioral health.
This comprehensive approach creates a sense of belonging and helps develop the social and emotional skills needed for lifelong success and responsible citizenship.
Equity Commitment
We believe each student deserves to thrive in a learning environment that prioritizes their social, emotional, mental, physical, and behavioral health and well-being alongside academic achievement. By integrating these supports and fostering a positive school climate, we aim to create equitable access to opportunities for students to succeed in school and life.
