Social and Emotional Supports
Students’ mental, emotional and physical well-being is crucial to their academic progress. On our safe, welcoming campuses, all students feel respected and valued. We have one adult for every nine students on campus, ensuring students have the opportunity to build positive relationships with multiple adults on campus. We provide a range of mental health supports and have one counselor for every 285 students, which is more than twice the state average.
Parent and Community Engagement
We know that parents are vital partners in student success. We prioritize a transparent relationship between our students, teachers, and families through collaborative tools such as PowerSchool, Coffee with the Principal sessions and School Advisory Councils. We also provide parents with training and support to advocate for themselves, their children and their communities, becoming agents of change who revitalize their neighborhoods. United Parents and Students, Green Dot’s network of families, is a testament to the sustaining power of parent and community advocacy.

The Green Dot Academic Model is unique in that it calls on us to remain agile, innovative and continually reflective. Our mission invites us to continue to innovate using high quality, research based practices from the education sector and beyond.
