Grant Elementary has made some terrific strides in the first 6 months of its partnership with Seneca. The Culture and Climate team has assisted in reinvigorating the school expectations by holding monthly expectation assemblies and end of month reward activities for classrooms that meet expectations. The administration and staff have begun to understand the importance of self-care and vicarious trauma and have opted to participate in a 6 session mindfulness training to improve staff mental health. Grant community partners continue to be an integral part of the services provided to students and thus have begun conducting monthly community partnership meetings where all providers discuss their services and develop plans to align and streamline identification, service provision, and evaluation of services. Furthermore, Grant has partnered with the Anti-Defamation League and as a “No Place for Hate” campus we have had student trainings to support our Anti-Bullying initiative and staff have received Anti-Bias training. The Grant Grizzlies have made tremendous leaps to build a positive school climate this year and I look forward to the great initiatives that will be implemented in the future.
