When students feel welcome and included, they are more likely to experience a sense of wellness and belonging and be ready to learn and engage in all that school has to offer. 

Starting the school year with Connection, Community and Calm is a guide for educators to help create a sense of community and belonging in the classroom, build relationships, and promote a variety of strategies that empower students to choose what helps them feel calm, focused, and balanced. 

This resource includes a slide deck with tools and activities to support educators.
