August Boeger Middle School (AB) employs a whole child approach to create a safe and inclusive learning environment where all students feel valued and respected. AB's programs, services, and partnerships are aligned and integrated to meet the needs of all students.

Part of the whole child approach at AB is providing for the social and emotional needs of every student. AB has a Social Emotional Coach that pushes into classrooms every day to take the teachers and students through wellness and mindfulness exercises before learning begins. Students who need social emotional support outside of the classroom have access to our Wellness Center, staffed by our social emotional counseling staff. Administrators, staff, and teachers work together to identify, support, and refer students in need of additional support to address a range of challenges including: home insecurity, food insecurity, special needs, McKinney Vinto, chronic absenteeism, substance abuse, anger management, and more. AB's Health Clerk supports the health needs of all students and supports home and food insecure pupils by providing a private area for hygiene, clean uniforms, laundry service, food/water, and more. Addressing the social emotional needs of every student is key to making the student feel safe, cared for, respected, and valued.
