Ensuring student physical and emotional health needs are met is a critical component in student engagement in their learning and thus, academic success. Student Support / Wellness includes the following support spaces: student reception; offices for counselors, social workers, and psychologists; conference / group discussion room, and a Wellness Room. Activities include individual and small group conferences, meetings with students, families and staff, a supervisable Wellness Room for students to go to self-regulate then return to class to reengage in their learning. Wellness spaces at the secondary level should also be flexible to accommodate student-directed activities, individual or group study, social interactions with peers, workshops, and individual interactions with staff.
