"Planting the seeds for student success" What is SST? The student support team collaborates with students, families, faculty & staff to create a safe & supportive learning environment for all. Some of our respobsibilities include: Social & emotion supports (one-on-one or group), restorative sessions, & interventions to maintain a healthy school climate. Fact: Talking to young folks early & often about their emotional weel-being can significantly improve their quality of life by increasing self-awareness, emotional intelligence, & their confidence to speak up if they are struggling.
