Activities

Restart, Restore, Reconnect

As a part of our Restart, Restore, Reconnect motto this year, MHS has taken steps to institute mental health and social emotional learning during the entire school year. It is very important for all students to learn about wellness and humanity. This past Tuesday, August 17, your student viewed a presentation about increasing awareness and access to social emotional supports at MHS. Student, family, and staff wellness is of high priority this year, so this is the first of eight wellness-related presentations.

The Top 3 Takeaways and Tips for this month’s presentation include:

MHS has a number of counselors, social workers, psychologists, and deans who are dedicated to support student wellness. What does your family do to practice wellness?

Every student has a support team. Does your student know who is part of their support team?

Check in with yourself often so you know what level of support you need from yourself/others. Who is your student’s go-to person for support?

YouScience

Exciting news! Beginning this week, Mundelein High School freshman students began taking the YouScience assessment during their FAM (Freshman Advisory) sessions. We believe YouScience is a great way for students to learn more about themselves, explore high-demand careers that are a good fit for them, and gain a better understanding of how their unique talents are needed in the economy.
