What this document actually says
This presentation outlines a comprehensive social-emotional learning (SEL) action plan developed by the Wellness & Belonging Task Force during Fall 2025. The plan focuses on five key areas: (1) Curriculum aligned with CASEL framework for grades PK-8 with designated SEL instruction time, (2) Behavior systems using PBIS with updated school-wide values and visual expectations, (3) Student enrichment through expanded clubs, athletics, academic competitions, and student voice initiatives, (4) Community engagement via family guides and video resources, and (5) Professional development for staff in trauma-informed practices and Responsive Classrooms. Progress will be measured through annual YouthTruth surveys tracking culture, belonging, safety, and relationships. The plan includes goals to add counseling support and create regulation spaces on campuses by 2027-28.
What this means for your family
Your child will receive structured social-emotional learning instruction during the school day, with programs tailored to their grade level. New lunchtime clubs, athletics, and academic competitions will expand. Schools will teach and post clear behavioral expectations. Families will receive guides and videos to support SEL learning at home. More counseling support is planned for all schools, and calming spaces will be added to help children manage emotions.
