The School District of Superior is committed to supporting every student’s academic growth as well as their social, emotional and behavioral growth. We feel strongly that it is our responsibility to ensure students learn the skills to be able to regulate their emotions, develop positive relationships and make responsible decisions. In order to monitor and provide support for students as they learn these skills, teachers in grades K-12, will be administering a benchmark screening tool, called SAEBRS (Social Academic Emotional Behavior Rating Scale) up to three times this year. SAEBRS is used to identify student risk for general, social, academic and emotional behaviors.

In addition to the teacher rating scale, students in grades 2-12, will take a self- assessment called mySAEBRS during the week of November 6. The student self-assessment and the teacher rating scale are used together to identify needs and determine the best supports and interventions for students to grow socially, emotionally and behaviorally. The mySAEBRS is grounded in the research that shows a student’s success in school is not only related to his or her academic achievement, but also success within multiple behavioral areas.

The mySAEBRS questions are shown below for your review.

If you would like to opt your child out of this risk screening, please complete the opt-out form below by November 3:

Every day we email out announcements and opportunities to our students. Do you want a peek at what they get? Click here for the announcements for the day. Sometimes our students may overlook things that guardians might think is a good fit for them. Like joining the FBLA or trying out Basketball by catching an open gym. It's worth taking a glance once in awhile to see what info they are getting and possibly having a conversation at home.

Happy Holidays!
