Dear Parents and Students:
Schnee Learning Center is proud to announce the award of the Safe and Drug Free Schools grant.
The purpose of this grant is to reduce and eliminate non-academic barriers to improve safe and
supportive learning environments, resulting in increased academic achievement. The program
at Schnee is called SEED (Support, Education, Encouragement, Dedication) and has five key
components:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Prevention—early screenings and education
Parent/Community Connection and involvement
Engagement—enrichment activities
Treatment—on-site services and linkage to community resources
Conflict resolution—education and skill building that leads to non-violent conflict resolution
As part of the new planning phase, Schnee has agreed to participate in a pilot program in which
anonymous surveys are used to collect data on school climate and youth risk behaviors. The data
collected will be used to guide development, selection, and implementation of programs state and
nationwide. This will help ensure appropriate and effective services are put in place. If you do NOT
want your student to participate in these surveys please send an email to [email protected]
to opt out.
Informative, entertaining, and effective methods will be used to connect students and their families
with educational, recreational and wellness activities, and community resources. Schnee has
partnered with the YMCA, Child Guidance & Family Solutions, Community Health Center, AmeriCorps,
and others to enhance the offerings to Schnee students and their families. Schnee students and their
families will be provided the chance to utilize these activities and services at no cost, while potentially
earning additional credits, and fulfilling the state mandated hours requirements of 6.25 per week. As
this brand new program evolves, you will continue to receive updates and invitations to participate.
We strongly encourage students to take advantage of these exciting new opportunities. We look
forward to working with you to further realize the Schnee motto, “Success for all.”
Cordially,
Schnee Learning Center Staff
