This year, BHSS will again be using the Social, Academic, and Emotional Behavior Risk Screener (SAEBRS). The SAEBRS helps our team understand how students are doing socially, emotionally, and academically so we can provide the best possible support. For middle and high school students, the screener is completed by the students themselves, allowing them to reflect on their own strengths and challenges while giving staff a picture of how to support them. If you would like more information about SAEBRS, please open the letter linked below.
