CREW Info
What is CREW?
Crew is a dedicated time in the day to focus on character skills (Habits of a Scholar), social-emotional learning, and academic goal-setting. Crew provides each student a relationship with an adult crew leader at the school, as well as a consistent and ongoing small-scale peer community. The crew model ensures that all students have an adult monitoring their academic and social well-being. It sets the stage for the development of deeper teacher-to-student and student-to-student relationships which increase feelings of belonging and supports all students’ success.
Role of a CREW Leader

-A facilitator who assists, guides, and enables the group to build strong relationships and work effectively.
-A coach, mentor and role model who gives constructive feedback and provides opportunities for practice and problem-solving.
-An academic adviser who helps set goals and monitor progress.
