Research reveals a child needs
to be fed nutritionally and
to feel “safe, loved, valued”
for the brain to be
most receptive to learning.
Academic success increases
with a
“Focus on Safety”.
Community Initiatives:
Conduct sessions, led by Safer Schools Team members, to explore topics to assure an environment receptive to learning:
·“Fed nutritionally”: donate financial support to Backpack-Food Program for Children to provide nutritional weekend/summer meals
·Telling is not Tattling: It is a means of protecting oneself and others. Students are often the first to know critical information “under the radar”.
·Restorative Practices: positive learning, healing, and growth for all involved
·Tutoring/Shared Time: volunteers to support academic achievement and individual attention and affirmation
How can we effectively assure the safety of our children and school personnel?
