The THRIVE program is a pro-active, social emotional learning program focused on building positive relationships. This program has been in Summit in some form for all elementary schools since the 2008-09 school year. The philosophy of the program relies on the partnership of all staff members in order to create a safe environment through which all children can learn. Teachers and counselors work together to deliver the lessons to every student. Letters to parents are available after each lesson to help reinforce the concepts at home, making THRIVE a truly collaborative effort.
Goals of THRIVE:
To work proactively to create an environment in which students feel safe in coming to school each day.
To create a collaborative and unified approach which makes staff and parents an integral part of the effort.
The curriculum is built around eight lessons, which are delivered in every K - 5 classroom/school in the district. Lessons are adapted to the developmental level of each grade and are organized across all grades according to the following topics:
Including Others/Respecting Differences
The Difference Between Normal Conflict & Bullying
Learning Anti-Bullying Strategies
Online Safety (K-2)
Cyberbullying (3-5)
Empathy & Kindness
