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.

What this means for your family

This plan shapes how your child experiences social-emotional learning, mental health support, and community building at school. It includes friendship groups, counseling services, anti-bullying programs, student clubs, and community events. The district is piloting new SEL curricula and expanding programs to help students develop empathy, resilience, and belonging. Families will see more volunteer opportunities and community events designed to ensure all students feel welcomed and supported.
