Student Wellbeing
Making Connections
At SMCM we understand the importance of making connections with students and their families to support student learning and emotional development. Connection is the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued. Positive connections provide our students with the trusted space they need to make mistakes and receive feedback. This is when we see student growth.
