Attendance Case Management

LESD interns provide attendance monitoring for students to support daily attendance. Individualized attendance plans are created in collaboration with students and their families.

Support Groups

These examples are from Rogers. Does JAMS have their own support groups?

  • Empowerment: This group supports students with boosting self-confidence and identifying strengths, celebrating diversity, promoting healthy relationships and learning how to make good decisions.

  • Social Skills: This group aims to teach and practice social skills. It also encourages students to foster peer connections and learn emotion management.

  • Relaxation: This group's purpose is to provide a space where students can express their emotions and practice healthy coping strategies, mindfulness and artistic expression. This group is especially important for student students who are experiencing worry, sadness and grief.

Social Opportunities 

These examples are from Rogers. Does JAMS have their own social opps?

  • Lunch Bunch: Students can join their classmates for lunchtime activities every Monday at 12pm. Zoom links are emailed to students every Monday. 

  • PS Arts SAC Lunch Program: Students can enroll to participate in art activities with PS Arts and a social work intern. Art materials are offered to participants.
