Dear Parents and Community Members,

We are excited to welcome you back for the 2025–2026 school year!

It is with great joy that I share this good news with you first. The school has created a new position tailored to address our students’ management, behavioral needs, and counseling support. After thoughtful consideration and research into best practices, this role has been titled “Behavior and Wellness Coordinator.”

The purpose of this position is to provide structured guidance and support for students’ overall well-being—helping them thrive both academically and personally. In defining this role, we studied similar positions and identified the essential skills and responsibilities that will guide your work. Based on that, we put together a set of guidelines to serve as a framework for the position.
