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.
