All staff who work with students play a vital role as caring adults in supporting student mental health and well-being on a daily basis. Educators鈥� role in promoting student well-being continues, though it may look a little different during remote learning. While we are apart,听regular check-ins build connections with students, promote peer relationships and encourage kindness and inclusion.听

Some things to consider:

• Be mindful of students who may be particularly vulnerable. Take time to connect with them individually in whatever way works, such as a phone call, email or a note to their parent/guardian.
• Connect students with mental health supports in the Board or community, if you鈥檙e concerned.
• Be gentle, kind, and flexible expectations听of kids and families.
• Try to foster a sense of connection and continuity in relationships.
• Consider building new routines and traditions in your remote 鈥渃lassroom.鈥�
• Limit media exposure about the pandemic for students through learning, which may be stressful.

Be compassionate and gentle with yourself. Remember to take care of your own physical and emotional wellness, too. We are grateful for all you are doing.
