SCHOOL COMMITTEE PRESENTATION: SEL TASK FORCE JUNE, 2019

Our Mission:

A critical component of the Medfield Public Schools education is the social emotional well-being of our students and staff. One of the key outcomes of the “Medfield 2021: MPS Strategic Plan 2016-2021” is to strike a balance between wellness and the increased expectations and demands of a world class education.

  • Strategy 1.1.2: PBIS and mindfulness
