Freeport Public Schools and the International Association for Human Values (IAHV) have a long and successful partnership providing our students and staff with stress relieving techniques and strategies though the YES program (now SKY Schools). During this difficult time, Freeport Schools and IAHV have partnered together to continue our SKY Schools remotely to provide our students, staff, and families with guided relaxation sessions, including guided breathing and meditation, to reduce stress along with providing a comprehensive wellness curriculum. The physical and mental health of our students, their families and our staff is of top priority to us and we continue to support your mental well-being. Please take care of yourselves and consider taking part our guided relaxation sessions.

For Students, Parents, or Teachers

We have a 20 session curriculum (from 20-60 minutes per session) that is an exciting hybrid of our stress-management practices coupled with a comprehensive wellness curriculum. It does not include the full SKY Breathing Practice.

Examples of sessions include:

• Practicing Peace, Improving Sleep, Increasing Energy, Increasing Immunity,

• Mental and Physical Hygiene, Quieting the Mind, Nutrition and Self-care,

and Building a Personal Practice.

These sessions are live and led by an expert trained SKY Schools Teacher.

Freeport Schools and SKY Schools is offering additional social-emotional lessons and guided relaxation lesson support daily for our students and staff through Google Classroom and the SKY Daily Reset app.

The Google Classroom code is: xfwna7z

We are currently planning remote Parent Universities through SKY Schools to further support our families in dealing with the stress of the COVID-19 pandemic. The District continues to monitor and care for the health and well-being of students, families and staff as we navigate through the extensive changes to our lives caused by COVID-19.

We are here to support you. Please take care of yourselves and be safe and healthy.
