Wellness Wednesdays started last week during academy: Is your student feeling stressed, overwhelmed or just wants to improve their understanding of mental health? They can join us during academy on Wednesdays to connect with others in a safe and supportive space. We will discuss various mental health topics in the hope of destigmatizing mental health challenges and improving our coping skills. Space is limited. Sign up for “Wellness Center” academy on Teachmore.
Expression Through Dance and Movement- starting Friday, Feb 24 during lunch: A program created to focus on increasing student confidence by using body movement to gain insight into behavior patterns and gaining the ability to express themselves through dance. This will allow individuals to create new ways of coping with stressors. This program also provides an opportunity to make friends, try new activities and develop new coping skills. Stop by the Wellness Center for more info or to sign up.
Last but not least, the Contra Costa County Office of Education and their Tobacco Use Prevention and Education program needs your help in preventing tobacco and cannabis usage by students. They are looking to gather parent feedback through this survey. Your feedback is extremely valuable to us so that we can best support our students. Your responses are highly encouraged and greatly appreciated!
