2025-26 Employee Wellness Representatives
Each school or department is invited to select an employee wellness representative! The Employee Wellness Representatives will support faculty/staff wellness efforts within your schools.
Action Items for administrators: Please nominate your Employee Wellness Representative for the 25-26 school year!
Employee Wellness Representatives Duties include:
- Attending virtual trainings, which will be offered at 3:15 and 4:15PM for each of the following dates. Employee Wellness Reps can choose one of the two listed sessions at either time on: 9/16 or 9/18; 10/14 or 10/16; 11/18 or 11/20; 1/13 or 1/15; 4/14 or 4/16.
- Learning emotional regulation and stress management strategies for educators
- Enhancing connection with colleagues and District wellness specialists
- Promoting wellness initiatives within your school or department
- Modeling holistic wellness for your school community
Steps to having an Employee Wellness Rep for your school or department:
- Consider the following:
- School Employee Wellness Reps must be licensed, non-administrative staff members who are eligible for the $500 stipend. We recommend using a non-mental health team staff member who is also on a leadership team or social committee at your school.
- Department Employee Wellness Reps can be any individual who represents wellness for the employee group. Though department employee wellness reps may not be stipend-eligible, we hope that directors will allow reps to fulfill their duties as part of their work schedule.
- Principal and directors nominate ONE employee wellness representative for each school or department using this form.
- Support your Wellness Rep throughout the year as the work to enhance your school or department!
