SAEBRS
The Social, Academic, and Emotional Behavior Risk Screener (mySAEBRS) is a 20 item rating scale that students complete about their social, academic, and emotional behaviors. It is grounded in a conceptual model which states that school success is predicated not just upon academic achievement, but also success within multiple inter-related behavioral domains. The mySAEBRSassessment is designed to evaluate student functioning in terms of overall general behavior (Total Behavior; 20 items), as well as Social Behavior (7 items), Academic Behavior (6 items), and Emotional Behavior (7 items). MySAEBRS is designed for screening all students in grades 2-12 three times a year. We will be conducting the winter mySAEBERS on February 22nd during 2nd block.
It's National School Counseling Week
Thank you and a huge shout out to our BMHS School Counselors: Angela Snow, Trudy Hart, Andrew Jandron and Jeanie Schoenenberger. Our counselors have been at the front lines, putting students first. School counselors help students succeed in school and plan their careers. We appreciate all they do!
