Project RAMP-UP Wellness (Readiness in Academic, Mental, and Physical Health)

Abstract

Project RAMP-UP Wellness (Readiness in Academic, Mental, and Physical Health) seeks to successfully meet three goals: (1) increase science achievement for elementary-aged military- connected students, (2) increase science achievement for secondary-aged military-connected students, and (3) improve mental and physical health and wellness for secondary-aged military connected students. The goals will be achieved by employing a multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS) framework to identify and support military-connected students who are just entering the district and/or at-risk of not meeting proficiency the Texas state accountability science test. Some specific strategies and supports include: (a) timely science and social emotional screeners for military-connected students entering the district, (b) frequent academic and social emotional wellness records reviews, (c) STEAM mobile labs/makerspaces for innovative instruction, (d) extracurricular STEAM and wellness clubs and activities to promote achievement, belonging, and overall wellness, (e) supplemental health science/wellness instructional supports, and (f) Military Support Specialists to ease transitions, promote wellness, provide supports, and assist military-connected students, their families, and teachers. Schertz-Cibolo-University City ISD seeks to provide an atmosphere for all students to be inspired, innovate, and excel. DoDEA funds will support our mission to empower all of our students to fulfill their lifelong potential through inspiring learning experiences.
