Three components of wellness for Perry students and staff

  1. Implement model Tier I (preventions) student assistance programming
  2. Strengthen Tier II (early intervention) and Tier III (individualized, intensive intervention) student supports in classrooms and school-wide to address social-emotional wellbeing and career exploration
  3. Promote mental wellness among school staff by supporting employees, for example:
    • Normalize walks/exercise during lunch or meetings
    • Continue providing staff 24 hours to respond back to families when appropriate
    • Keep meetings timely and opportunities to build/do necessary work
    • Foster gratitude and appreciation throughout the school culture
    • Take time to meditate, do yoga, stretch, or breathing exercises
