What we can all do and Blaine School staff do every day
- Notice and celebrate when students do well.
- Check-in with students who seem to be feeling down or isolated.
- Listen without judgment.
- Give students a smile or thumbs up regularly. It might be just what they need to feel seen, to feel connected.
- Encourage and believe in all students.
