A Letter from Nicole Johnson, Director of Student Achievement

Hi D187 Families,

We're happy you're here! We want to help kids feel their best.

Did you know many children today face challenges like anxiety and sadness? That's why we're working with Midwest PBIS, CharacterStrong and Restorative Practices for Social-Emotional Learning across all schools, CYN Counseling Center at Evelyn Alexander, NMSA, and NCCHS, The Josselyn Center services at Alexander and Forrestal, and McGaw Northwestern for 6th-12th graders at NMSA. Our partners teach kids essential skills to deal with these feelings and succeed in school.

  • Increasing a sense of belonging for  all students, 

  • Improving skills that support student well-being

  • Increasing  empathy for people and communities

  • Understand their emotions

  • Make good friends

  • Set goals

  • Feel good about themselves

Learning these skills can help kids feel more confident and ready to learn! Please view the links below to learn more about our programs and partners.
