The ICARE Counselors
ICARE Program & Wellness Wednesday
Hillside School’s homegrown character education program is
called ICARE (Integrity, Caring, Attitude, Respect, and Empathy).
The program consists of monthly themes and lessons from Mrs.
Lang and Ms. Weiss. Through the ICARE and Wellness Wednesday
lessons, students learn coping skills, how to handle emotions
positively, to empathize, build social skills and friendships, make
responsible decisions, resolve conflicts peacefully, and how to
implement mindfulness techniques.
