Universal Wellness Screener

Beginning in fall 2019, the District developed the Universal Wellness Screener in collaboration with TRAILS (Transforming Research into Action to Improve the Lives of Students). The Screener is administered during the first month of school, and the results provide guidance around services for students as outlined below:

Tier I – Continued participation and engagement with whole school initiatives that promote mental health. This may include Expect Respect, Sanford-Harmony and Overcoming Obstacles character development, and Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) activities.

Tier II – Small group interventions designed to address student concerns. As the curriculum recommended by TRAILS follows the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) model, participating students will require parental permission.

Tier III – Referral for more intensive mental health services and supports. One-on-One check-in by a school counselor, school social worker, or other staff.
