GO HUSKIES!
Message From your Principle
Welcome Husky Families to our first bi-weekly communication! This 2024-25 School Year has started with a wonderful beginning. Your scholars have been workings so hard to get going on their classes, figuring out their schedules, getting to meet new friends and establishing new positive strategies to become the best scholar they can be!
On campus there is a lot of activity and movement. Our schedule changes are done, and scholars are in the permanent classes now. We had to do some adjusting of classes and teaching position. If you have any questions, please reach out and call the front office.
Thank you for trusting us with the most important gifts in your life - your children. We take your scholars academic, social, emotional and physical lives very seriously. Do not hesitate to contact us with any questions, concerns, celebrations or suggestions.
Sincerely,
Dr. Katherine Kuhn

Higher Ground: Restart Smart Team
Safford is supported by a dedicated Restart SMART team comprising of a Student Support Specialist, Family Support Specialist, and Site Director. These specialists work with our youth, families, schools and community partners to create and recognize the unique needs of the Safford Community.
- Student Support Specialists support the school’s overall social and behavioral environments while helping students build long-term skills and executive functions. They meet individually with youth, employing a Strategic Life-Coaching Technology that documents their strengths, triggers, goals, and struggles.
- Family Support Specialists meet with families to help identify needs, potential service coordination, and mentoring based on need.
- Site Directors partner with school administrators and community members to coordinate on-site services.
Through these one-on-one meetings, the team helps identify gaps, needs, and potential local resources. After the team assesses foundational needs, they collaborate with local organizations to address the diverse wellness dimensions of students, families, and school professionals. Their collaboration catalyzes significant individual and community change by helping individuals understand obstacles, access community resources, and achieve self-driven goals.
