Social and Emotional Health

Introduction

Our school community is facing unprecedented challenges as we respond to the compounded difficulties of a global pandemic. We continue to be committed to creating a welcoming and caring school community that ensures its members are met with compassion and the support they need to achieve and thrive. Academic learning cannot be effective until the basic human needs for physical and emotional safety are met.

School COunseling Program

In accordance with the guidelines established by the National and New York State School Counseling Associations, the K-12 Guidance and Counseling program of the Manhasset School District has been designed to address the developmental needs of each student and to assist you, their parents/guardians, in helping them as they progress from their earliest days in elementary school up to the planning involved in the development of post-secondary plans. Throughout the course of this journey each student will have the opportunity to participate in individual and/or group activities designed to address their academic, social/emotional, and career needs.

Wellness Resources

Our Counseling department has curated a number of valuable resources for our school community.

The resources include how to talk with and support students during and after the ongoing COVID-19 public health emergency, as well as provide supports for developing coping and resilience skills for students, faculty and staff.
