KCMS Families: This year, KCMS has adopted the Early Identification System (EIS) Teacher Checklist and Student Survey to promote students’ social and emotional health. The EIS guides prevention efforts in our school. In addition, our school will be participating in a research project called “Evidence-Informed Mental health Prevention, Assessment, Collaboration, and Treatment in Middle Schools” (E-IMPACTS). E-IMPACTS will evaluate how early identification systems may support student social, emotional, and academic performance in schools. See the images for more information.
