2024-2025 School Wellness Representatives
The wellness team is excited to announce the continuation of our Educator Wellness Reps Program that is intended to support employee health and wellness. The Educator Wellness Representatives will primarily be responsible for supporting faculty/staff wellness efforts within your schools.
Educator Wellness Representatives Duties include:
- Will attend bi-annual in person training on 9/18/24 & 1/8/25
- **Schools will need to cover the cost of the sub**, administrators are invited to attend with their school representative
- Promote wellness initiatives at the District and school level
- Lead and support faculty/staff wellness efforts at your school throughout the year
- Maintain a connection with District Wellness Specialists
- Model educator wellness for the school community
Steps to having an educator wellness rep for your school or department:
- Consider the following:
- Nominees must be a licensed, non-administrative staff member. We highly recommend using a non-mental health team staff member. Also, we recommend they work with a leadership team or social committee at your school.
- Principals may work with their current reps to see if they’re interested in doing this important work again for the upcoming school year.
- Principal nominates ONE educator wellness representative for each school using this form.
- Attend the twice per year training with your representative and cover the cost of the substitute
- Action Items for administrators:
- Please nominate your Educator Wellness Representative for the 24-25 school year!
