Vision and Priorities

ULMS Vision—

Uplift Luna Middle School works in partnership with fami-

lies and Deep Ellum Community members to provide an

International Baccalaureate education that increases

youth well-being and college graduation rates.

Did you notice the phrase “youth well-being?” Uplift Luna

Middle School cares about the type of person your

scholar is becoming, and is committed to supporting

scholars in becoming the best possible versions of

themselves. Part of overall “well-being” is emotional

health. This year, ULMS is prioritizing developing

scholars’ abilities to self-monitor and regulate their own

emotions. Emotions matter, and we want scholars to

understand that all emotions are important, and can be

used to make informed and healthy decisions. This work

begins with us as the adults in their lives modeling

healthy emotional awareness. We are anchoring our

work in the five RULER skills that come from research

conducted by the Yale Center of Emotional Intelligence.

In order for scholars to learn these skills, it is important

that families and teachers alike are comfortable

discussing these skills with scholars. Check out the RULER

Informational Page attached to the Thursday Notes to

learn all about how you can discuss the RULER skills at

home with your scholars.

Visión y Prioridades

Visión de ULMS —

Uplift Luna Middle School trabaja en colaboración con las familias

y miembros de la comunidad de Deep Ellum para proporcionar

una educación de Bachillerato Internacional que aumenta el bien-

estar de la juventud y las tasas de graduación de colegio.

Notaste la frase "bienestar de la juventud?" Uplift Middle School

se preocupa por el tipo de persona que su estudiante se esta

haciendo y esta comprometida a apoyar a su estudiante a conver-

tirse en la mejores versiones de ellos mismos. Parte del

"bienestar general" es salud emocional. Este año, ULMS esta

dando prioridad a desarollar las capacidades de los estudiantes

para monitorear y regular sus propias emociones. Las emociones

importan, y queremos que los estudiantes entiendan esto para

que pueden tomar decisiones informadas y sanas. Este trabajo

comienza con nosotros, los adultos en sus vidas modelado con-

ciencia emocional saludable. Estamos anclando nuestro trabajo

en las cinco habilidades de RULER que provienen de la investi-

gación llevada a cabo por el centro Yale de Inteligencia Emocion-

al. Para que los estudiantes aprender estas habilidades, es im-

portante que las familias y maestros esten

cómodos discutiendo estas habilidades con los estudiantes. Re-

visa la página informativa de RULER adjunto a las notas del jueves

para aprender todo sobre cómo usted puede discutir las ha-

bilidades de RULER en el hogar con sus estudiantes.
