“In Bellevue Schools we believe students learn best in safe, secure, and stable environments. Beyond helping learners to achieve high academic growth and success, we foster environments, district-wide, that promote healthy social, emotional and physical well-being. We are creating a system-wide approach to ensure that every student feels safe physically, socially, and emotionally in all learning environments.” Dr. Duran will discuss this in his presentation.
