Please review the attached guidelines for students returning to school from mental health treatment, suspension, or other, high-need absence.
The purpose of the re-entry (or “return to learn”) process is to empower students and their support system to enhance social, emotional, and academic wellness throughout the transition back to school
If you would like more information on implementing these guidelines or follow-up please contact McKinley Withers. This follow-up could include:
- In-person visit to an MTSS or School Mental Health Team Meeting to talk through the guidelines with your team
- A staff training on “EveryDay Strong” which would take less than one hour to give your entire school staff a foundational understanding of how to meet student’s social and emotional needs. This is foundational to every transition plan.
- Making an individual “student wellness plan” with your school team for a student who is returning to school or who has been suspended to familiarize you with the process
