Be Well 365 is a district-wide action plan to provide students with the knowledge, skills, and abilities in six essential areas of physical, social, and psychological development that support academic growth and lifelong personal and career success.

The 6 Essentials:

• Culturally Responsive Relationship Building: The ability to establish healthy relationships and understand social and interpersonal skills by creating positive climates. For example, demonstrating an understanding of the identities and experiences of all students ensuring they receive equitable opportunities for learning. Learn more in this Be Well Talk video.

• Mental and Emotional Health: The ability to use healthy mental and emotional skills to strengthen self-concept and cope with adversity. For example, learning and applying the skills to manage stress. Learn more in this Be Well Talk video.

• Trauma Informed Practices: The ability to understand the effects of trauma on physical and psychological development and to use strategies to reduce their impact on student learning. For example, helping students build skills such as optimism, flexibility, self-confidence, self-control, and perseverance in a safe and welcoming learning environment.

• Restorative Justice and Restorative Practices: The use of strategies to build understanding relationships between students and adults and resolve conflicts in a manner that restores relationships and repairs the harm that may have been caused. For example, presenting opportunities for students to develop core social competencies, such as empathy, compassion and conflict resolution skills through carefully constructed group conversations.

• Physical Health and Wellness: The development of lifelong positive health-related attitudes and behaviors that includes physical fitness, relationship-building, and decision-making. For example, providing a diverse selection of engaging in-school and after-school activities while also focusing on nutrition as key element of wellness.

• Character Education and Empathy: The ability understand and care about the feelings of others, accept responsibility, and behave in a safe, positive, and ethical manner. For example, nurturing student capacity for compassion, self-regulation and resilience, especially in adverse situations. Learn more in this Be Well Talk video.

The 6 essentials are incorporated in the academic curriculum and in regular school day activities, in addition to specific lessons provided by school counselors, school psychologists, health education and other content area teachers and programs.
