Mental Health

We began the process for our Mental Health Program by establishing the Buffs Cupboard. Buffs Cupboard serves as our pantry to support our families. The pantry provides food, clothing and toiletries for families in need

Next, we are working on establishing a three-year plan for the full implementation of a comprehensive mental health program. The program will include a curriculum with a focus on Second Step at the elementary and School Connect at the Elementary. A schedule will reflect when and how we implement the curriculum including professional development for teachers. We use DESSA as our assessment and began using it as a screener during the 2022-23 school year. Our goal is to assess three times of year and use the data collected through the assessment to guide our planning efforts.

We have also generated mental health standards that include five broad areas that include skills associated with; 1) Self-Awareness, 2) Self-Management, 3) Social Awareness, 4) Relationship Skills, and 5) Responsible Decision-Making,
