Social-Emotional Learning
Social-emotional learning (SEL) is an integral part of Hollyglen's educational program, aimed at helping students develop the skills necessary to manage their emotions, build positive relationships, and make responsible decisions. Teachers and staff create a positive, friendly, and empowering school climate with social-emotional supports so that all students feel cared for, respected, and encouraged.
By developing these skills, students not only improve their academic performance but also enhance their mental health and well-being. Our school's commitment to SEL and mental health ensures that all students feel supported and have the necessary tools to succeed academically and in life.
Hollyglen Spirit
School climate and culture play a significant role in shaping the educational experience for all students. A positive school climate creates a safe and supportive learning environment, where students feel valued, respected, and engaged.
Our Hollyglen cub spirit leads to better academic performance, increased attendance, and improved social and emotional well-being.
Positive Behavior Support
Positive Behavior Supports, or PBS, is a proactive approach that schools use to establish a supportive and safe learning environment for students, emphasizing the use of positive reinforcement to encourage student behaviors. In Hollyglen PBS teaches social skills, promotes student success, and encourages a growth mindset.
The Friendship Club
Elementary and middle school students are welcomed to join The Friendship Club at their respective school sites where applicable. The Friendship Club is a safe space for students to connect with peers who share similar interests, spend time with people from different backgrounds, and discover what it means to be a friend.
The Friendship Club fosters a sense of belonging and helps students develop important social skills such as communication, teamwork, and empathy, leading to meaningful connections and improved social and emotional well-being.
