Out of 226 campuses nominated throughout the United States, the school has been selected for a chance to receive a “Capturing Kids’ Hearts National Showcase Schools” award for the 2018-2019 school year.
About four and a half years ago, school administrators began an initiative to transform the campus into an “emotionally safe place” for students, staff and parents, according to officials. This led them to join the Flippen Group in their Capturing Kids’ Heart endeavor.
Since 1990, campuses nationwide, including La Mesa Junior High School, have experienced positive outcomes with Capturing Kids’ Hearts tools and processes, creating socio-emotional safety conducive to learning, according to the organization.
“As a result of implementing Capturing Kids’ Hearts, the school has experienced an increase in students feeling connected to school and improved academic achievement,” said Hart District officials.
Flippen Group teams are set to conduct site visits to nominated campuses to gather additional quantitative and qualitative data and interview students, teachers, administrators and parents.
“Following the site visit, the selection team will review all accumulated data and select the campuses to be this year’s recipients of the Capturing Kids’ Hearts National Showcase Schools awards,” said district officials.
