  1. Military Child Education Coalition ® • How is Socorro ISD • Impacted? • Military Clubs to Ease • Transitions

  2. Socorro ISD • Socorro currently has close to 2800 military connected kids • By 2014 we are expecting at least 750 more students due to base closures moving to Fort Bliss

  3. Frequent Moves • The average student moves 6-12 times in their Educational Career • 2 of those moves are during High School

  4. How Can We Help? • S2S for High Schools • JS2S for Middle Schools • ES2S for Elementary

  5. What is S2S ? • Imagine wondering if you will need to eat your lunch in the restroom for the next 2 weeks. S2S can ease those fears. • The MCEC Student 2 Student (S2S) program trains civilian and military-connected school students to establish and sustain peer-based programs in their schools to support mobile children as they transition to and from the school.

  6. Deployment Stress Affects Kids Each Child Handles a deployment differently • Somatic Symptoms such as Head and Stomach aches • Depression • Withdrawal • Anger • Behavior

  7. How Can Deployment ClubsHelp? • Clubs that create a sense of belonging and connection with other students who are going through deployments too. • All age children will feel safe in an environment with like peers

  8. What would a deployment Club look like? • Middle/High School- A time to gather together to talk, being heard will make the greatest impact. Lunchtime would be ideal. • Elementary-Lunchtime gatherings to talk, I have many resources to help such as time capsules to chart growth, books to read and discuss

  9. I am here to help! • You do not have to do this alone. I am here to help you. I can facilitate or assist. • Lets get together and discuss more ideas, I have a lot of them.
