What a great first day of school we had! Nothing could beat the feeling of greeting our students after so long ❤️ Our teams led with tons of energy and positivity, with huge smiles under their masks 🙂 Thank you to our school partners, teachers and @duvalschools administration for leading us all through the new normal at school.

We hope you enjoyed Ribault High's takeover yesterday - we can't wait to see our school campuses filled with students! Our students are SO excited to get back into the classroom to keep working towards their academic goals, hanging out with friends, and (we hope) spending time with their City Years! Students living in systematically under-resourced communities will face even greater challenges as they return to school this year, due to the likely increased summer -slide. Our teams are trained and ready to support students, whether remote or in-person. Our AmeriCorps members will…
✔️ Provide small group tutoring
✔️ Drive student participation in learning spaces
✔️ Support student social-emotional growth
As you can see, our priorities haven’t changed! Let’s get ready to take on the 2020-2021 school year 🎈

This is what safe power-greeting looks like these days, and we are loving it! Every morning we greet our students with energy and love as a key part of our Whole School Whole Child model. Building meaningful relationships with our students is crucial to cultivating their social-emotional skills, and one way we do it is by pumping them up in the morning and laughing together ❤️
At City Year we have always believed developing social-emotional skills in students is incredibly important. But did you know that research from the @johnshopkinsu Everyone Graduates Center has proved it?! Their recent study on our work confirms that as social-emotional skills increase, so do academic outcomes! These skills have twice the impact on academics as family income does. So we’re going to keep on supporting our students socially, emotionally, and academically though this unique year and beyond 💯
Keep an eye out for more amazing impacts in our newest Impact Report, hitting email boxes and mailboxes next week.

Circles have looked a little different through Basic Training Academy this year, but we're grateful for the opportunity to learn from each other and about service virtually. We're closing out the third week of BTA and ready to meet our students week! Thank you @citi for supporting our pre-service training to help ensure our AmeriCorps members are well prepared to help students as they come back to school!

Oh hey there North Shore Elementary team! We are loving seeing how our teams get to interact with each other and school staff during pre-planning. When you work with open, caring people, it’s easy to create lasting bonds virtually 💯
@citi sponsored BTA is ongoing for the next few weeks as well, with more whole site trainings and check-ins to ensure our AmeriCorps members are prepared with the skills to tackle this service year.

We are ecstatic that our AmeriCorps members were able to physically meet for the first time and head back to school! Can’t you see those smiles under those masks?! Here are the teams at Jean Ribault High, Carter G. Elementary, and Highlands Middle schools ready to start this year off strong 💯
