Social Emotional Well-Being

What Families Can Expect

The school closures due to the pandemic have had a significant impact on the social emotional needs of students. Now, more than ever, we must be ready to address these needs and ensure the well-being of our students.

  • Parent survey to be administered prior to school reopening
  • A student specific screening will then be administered to those students whom parents have identified as in need of more support
  • Student specific support will be provided in numerous ways
  • Each school will implement a “mindful moment” program
  • The District will also work in partnership with Putnam County agencies to provide families with the necessary referrals and contact information for home support
