What this document actually says
This presentation outlines social-emotional learning (SEL) programs across all three RUSD schools for the 2024-25 school year. Reed Elementary uses Kimochis and Second Step programs (PreK-2nd grade). Bel Aire Elementary implements Responsive Classroom, Second Step, and the Mosaic outdoor education project (3rd-5th grade). Del Mar Middle School runs Advisory programs focused on integrity, respect, and courage, plus Challenge Day for 8th graders. Current staffing includes school psychologists, counselors, and one district nurse. Survey data shows strong culture and belonging scores across schools (80-95%), with some gaps for students with disabilities and certain demographic groups. Next steps include piloting new SEL curriculum at Bel Aire and forming a district-wide Belonging & Wellness Committee.
What this means for your family
Your child receives structured social-emotional learning through age-appropriate programs teaching communication skills, conflict resolution, empathy, and community building. Survey results show most students feel they belong and have strong relationships at school, though the district is working to improve support for students with disabilities and some demographic groups. The district plans to review and potentially update SEL programs based on stakeholder feedback.
