Wellness Services

The health and wellness of our students is strongly linked to their overall academic success. Therefore, Los Lunas Schools has a variety of services available to support our student’s health and wellness. Each school site has at least one Counselor and a School Nurse to assist students with their Social Emotional well-being and wellness. Social Workers and a School Psychologist provide Social Emotional services to students with disabilities who qualify for services. Counselors, Social Workers and our School Psychologist meet on a monthly basis during their Social Emotional Learning Team Collaboration. Our School Health Team is led by our Charge Nurse and meets on a routine basis throughout the year to discuss current practices and health needs in our district.

Please refer to your school site's directory to contact Counselors, Nurses, Health Assistants, Social Workers, and School Psychologist. On this website you will also find resources provided in our community and state regarding wellness and Social Emotional well-being.

Social Emotional Learning Team
School Counselors at the elementary schools provide lessons in the classrooms focusing on Social Emotional well-being as well as support our schools with the coordination of state assessments. School Counselors in the secondary schools support students with class schedules, state assessments, post-secondary planning, college scholarships and applications, and lessons in the classrooms such as Signs of Suicide.  Counselors also support students with their Social Emotional well-being in small group and individual settings. Our Social Workers and School Psychologist provide services to students with disabilities who qualify for their services as determined by the student's Individualized Education Program. Other resources that are provided by our Mental Health Team include but not limited to:

• Functional Behavior Assessments
• Behavior Intervention Plans

Members of our Social Emotional Learning Team can also work with families in crisis and who need assistance with accessing community resources. If you feel your child would benefit from the support of our School Counselors please refer to the sidebar to the right to contact a counselor at your child’s school.

School Nurses
Our School Nurses are available to support our students with their health and wellness.
