Well-Being Guide

Well-being is the positive sense of self and belonging when our cognitive, emotional, social, and physical needs are met. Well-being in the early years and the school setting is about helping children and students become resilient and self-aware to make positive and healthy choices to support their learning and achievement both now and in the future.

This Well-Being website was created for our parents/guardians and school community to provide information and connections regarding students' academic, social, emotional, and behavioral well-being. The following resources give an overview of student well-being and outline our school processes for accessing support within the district and from the various community agencies that can provide additional support. On the web pages provided, you can find a list of trained school staff ready to help with planning for your student's well-being, along with support resources for staff.

Well-being for students and staff is a part of a high-quality education that supports academic performance, school climate, and other important developmental outcomes and core values. In partnership with families and the school communities we serve, we set priorities based on their local stakeholders' feedback to provide a foundational focus for students as they progress through their educational journey.

The Austin Packer Core values were designed to address the needs of students, families, staff, and the Austin community and are used to help define what it means to be a graduate of Austin Public Schools.
