Resiliencethe capacity to rise above difficult circumstances, allowing our children to exist in the world, while moving forward with confidence


How can we build resilience in our students?  Our goal is to help them gain tools that will enable them to succeed, despite what is “thrown at them” in life.  This is not an easy task, by any means, but there are several ways we can promote resiliency amongst our students:

  • Promoting and helping students form caring relationships with peers
  • Sending high expectation messages to remind them of their strengths
  • Offering opportunities for meaningful participation and contribution by entrusting them with responsibilities and decision making opportunities
  • Promoting self-efficacy by guiding students to believe they have what they need to reach their goals and they know how to advocate for resources they need

  • Time for open and honest reflection, dialogue, and critical thinking around issues salient to them
  • Find something (anything) they can excel in so they develop sense of self-confidence
  • Allow for more creative expression (art, music, poetry, story-telling, acting)
  • Service or volunteer opportunities
  • Forming connections with teacher, parents, or other adults they respect

UPCOMING EVENTS AT HUHS
  WE THINK THIS IS COOL!!!

The Richfield Ski & Snowboard Club has enjoyed a successful season on the slopes this year.  They were able to attend all 4 of the regularly scheduled dates, even with the lack of snow and excess rain/ice.  Students were able to take lessons or just show up and ski/snowboard if they were more experienced.  Thank you to Mrs. Weston and Little Switzerland for a successful season.  We look forward to it again next year. 

Visit the photo gallery to see the rest of the Ski/Snowboard Club pictures.  A group picture will be coming soon.

SCREENAGERS
We believe in the importance of parents helping children find a healthy balance with screen  time. This is challenging!  
Screenagers is about the impact of the digital age on children and how to help families mini mize harmful effects and find balance. After seeing the film, people tell us that they feel more  confident and better equipped to establish balance around screen time.  We hope you will join us!  Sponsored by the Hartford Area Schools (Richfield, Friess Lake, Erin, HoNoR, Hartford Jt. 1, and Hartford Union High School) More details coming soon.
