My student is about halfway through their elementary experience at Hazel Dell. Every teacher, from their classroom teacher to their art/PE/creative movement/music instructors has at one time or another gone out of their way to make my student feel seen, lovavle, and capable. The librarian has been instrumental in turning my reluctant reader into a kid who feels at home in a library, and who believes they are capable of reading anything, even when it's challenging. Recess is very important to kids at this age, and we hear about the recess monitors at home often; they clearly work hard every day to make the students feel safe with appropriate behavioral expectations. My student is learning healthy and effective ways to deal with conflict with their peers, which makes them feel proud and self-reliant. They have access to a school counselor who has personally helped my student navigate tricky situations with friends, making them a more confident kiddo in complex social situations. The school has a therapy dog - Ruby Joy - a Free Little Pantry, and a Free Little Library. The values of kindness and community are present in every part of this school, and we feel so lucky that our kiddo landed here. My student feels very connected to her school, and by extension her community because of what happens at Hazel Dell Elementary on a consistent, daily basis. As parents we feel connected because of the excellent communication from the school via text, email, phone calls, and frequent classes and family nights offered by the school.Bottom line: my student's mental health and social-emptional development are taken seriously and supported by every adult at this school. She's getting a good education, and potentially more importantly, she's developing a strong foundation for lifelong learning.
