Hi families! We are already thinking ahead to next semester, and some of you may receive an email about the SPIRSS Program. This email will come from Qualtrics or "WSU School Psychology" and may go to spam so please check your spam folder! The subject will read "Parent Consent" or "Stafford Schools - Consent Required". As a reminder, each semester teachers complete the Social, Academic, and Emotional Behavior Risk screener (SAEBRs) for each of their students. Middle/high school students also have the opportunity to complete one for themselves. This gives us a snapshot of how students are doing and if they might need some additional support in different areas. The SPIRSS Program aims to provide students support in those areas. You can find more information about the SAEBRs (teacher completed version) here: https://www.illuminateed.com/.../social-emotional.../saebrs/ You can also find more information about the mySAEBRs (student completed version) on our website here (also included in enrollment packets): https://www.stafford349.com/.../student-data.../509980

Yesterday, the middle/high school and some community members had the opportunity to hear Mark and Nanette Potter with #D2UP. Their conversation about mental health awareness and seeking help was necessary information to hear. Thank you to them for sharing their story with us. Another thank you to the South Central Community Foundation and local community members who made this possible.
Did you know Stafford USD 349 is part of the RAISE Educonomy Program?
Raise Kansas Educonomy

Involves: Building connections and sharing resources among siloed organizations in rural communities by bringing together educators, students, rural employers, and community leaders for collaborative discussions and brainstorming sessions.
Goal: To identify and deliver innovative resources and solutions that address:
1. The needs of educators and students in developing a successful graduate.
2. The expectations of local employers regarding graduates to ensure they become successful employees and contribute to a sustainable workforce.
The Gist: This initiative emphasizes the role of rural employers in shaping a successful graduating workforce rather than just consuming it. When students observe community investment in their education and future, they are significantly more likely to return to rural areas. By providing additional academic resources, students will be better prepared for success and achievement beyond high school.
If you have questions about how this program is helping our students, talk to Mrs. Lowther.
