Back to School Reminder

Students learn well when they feel safe and supported. They should feel safe when they enter the building and throughout the day. The CDC reports that students who feel connected and supported are more likely to show up and have academic success.

When young people know that adults and peers care they feel empowered to do well.

Communities play a part in the school year, being safe for each student, being safe and ready to learn. Here are just a few helpful tips from the CDC for schools and communities

• Be a trusted adult for young people
• Create safe positive activities so that young people have something to do
• Teach healthy ways to handle disagreements without harm
• Keeping families and students connected to resources
• Having places for young people to work together, be heard, and lead.

SPCP wishes all students, families, teachers, and school staff a safe and successful school year.
