San Dieguito Union High School District

As identified in the Local Accountability Control Plan, SDUHSD is focused on school climate factors including increasing school connectedness, which positively impacts student well-being and achievement. At the district level, professional learning is provided in student engagement and support areas for staff members. SDUHSD staff has been trained in strategies for bullying prevention, Restorative Practices, and suicide prevention.  

 

• creating safe, welcoming, supportive schools and classrooms
• building resilience and healthy coping strategies and the ability to process complex emotions
• providing students and families with information about supports and resources, including how to seek help if needed 

 

Teams, including counselors, school social workers, school psychologists, teachers and administrators are available to support students during the school day. Each school participates in ongoing work to support students such as counseling, interventions, Student Study Teams, support groups, and other school-wide strategies to promote student connectedness and well-being. Please visit school sites directly for contacts, events and more information. If you have a social-emotional concern about a student, the school counselor is your first contact for assistance.

We work with staff, parent and community groups through advisory council, school site councils, liaisons, memorandums of understanding, parent presentations, principal coffees, surveys, and safety and wellness teams. A district advisory group that included a parent representative from each site worked collaboratively with leaders on topics for the district to address in providing parent education and resources around safety, wellness, and social-emotional learning.
