Mental Health of Students
he effects of the pandemic has taken a toll on the mental health of our students. The normalcy of school — dances, fall festivals, other social activities — all of those familiar things that make student life fun have been put on the back burner. The Dysart School District is doing an excellent job making sure to have social workers in our schools, but I would like to see this expanded to counselors in elementary schools to assist students who are struggling or in distress.
