What this document actually says
This action plan from the Wellness & Belonging Task Force outlines the district's comprehensive approach to social-emotional learning (SEL) and student wellness for 2025-26. The plan covers all three schools (Reed Elementary, Bel Aire Elementary, and Del Mar Middle) and addresses nine key areas: curriculum, instruction, behavior management (PBIS), environments, student experiences, student voice and leadership, parent/community engagement, professional learning, and staff development. The plan aligns with RUSD's mission to develop motivated learners, creative problem solvers, effective communicators, engaged citizens, and balanced individuals. Current programs include Kimochis curriculum at Reed, Character Strong piloting at Bel Aire, friendship groups, community-building activities, and disability awareness initiatives. The task force used stakeholder input and data analysis to develop phased implementation strategies.
