A huge thank you to SDUSD’s Amy Hines for taking the time to share the latest on trauma-informed care with us this past Saturday.👏🏻

From the relationship between trauma and the brain to the latest classroom practices, Amy’s expertise was inspiring not only for our staff, but also for the teachers, case managers, and administrators from the community in attendance. 📚

It’s #NationalGratitudeMonth, and our students couldn’t be more grateful for Aseltine’s Sports Program, which helps them practice teamwork and build confidence in the San Diego sunshine. Out athletic program is just one of the many electives that help students discover new skills and opportunities to be grateful for. .

Tell us what you’re grateful for this month (and every month!) below.

Science, math, tech innovation - they’re all around us! .
.

42% of our students arrive to Aseltine two or more grade levels behind in math. Not only is STEM education critical as the demand for related occupations continues to grow, but STEM subjects are even proven to encourage creativity. We couldn’t be more proud of the commitment our students make to excel in these subjects and further their futures inside and outside of the classroom. We’re truly inspired by their embodiment of Aseltine’s “There I couldn’t...here I can.” spirit. .

This year’s Halloween Carnival was anything but candy corny. Students celebrated with fangtastic games, a boo-tiful costume contest, and, of course, plenty of candy. #HappyHalloween, all!

In honor of #EmotionalWellnessMonth, we’re giving major props to our Conflict Resolution Program, which helps students process and deal with their difficult life circumstances in a healthy, productive manner. Engaged as problem solvers and partners in their learning process, students develop the coping skills critical to a successful public school return. .

Friday morning reflections are an Aseltine tradition. .
.
A time to gather, share progress, work through challenges, and set goals for the next week, these school wide sessions allow students a moment of pause to evaluate their growth. Voicing breakthroughs, hiccups, and pivots, this sacred time not only provokes individual growth, but also unity and community among staff and peers.

Solve for x: students excited to learn + engaging math lessons = x

The answer to this equation? 100% of our middle and high school students improving by one or more grade levels in math calculation skills last year. #WorldMathDay

Visits from past students are one of our most rewarding moments.
Equipping students with the tools they need to reintegrate and succeed in public school is always our goal, and seeing our students come back as accomplished, goal-driven young people excited about their futures? Well, the smile on this former student’s face as he embraces one of Aseltine’s long standing champions says it all. #TransformationTuesday
