To usher in 2016, ScenicView Academy adopted a brand new logo design based on the suggestion and idea of Chase Carson, a recently graduated ScenicView student.
by Emily Uasila’a, Employment Case Manager I have a student that has been working at a local restaurant since the new semester started. Before he started working, we had a series of phone calls and meetings to set up the internship agreement. During the initial interview, the student was nervous and really anxious to meet his supervisor. His interview took about 15 minutes. His supervisor was so impressed with him and she felt that he had skills needed to work as a greeter and a buser. She couldn’t wait for him to start. I was in contact with her last week and she wanted check in and let me know that things are going well. She reported that he comes to work 20 mins early. I’m so proud of him. Written by Ernest Ramos, Employment Case Manager A student recently had a loved one pass away. She had been stressing about it for several days and the funeral was scheduled in a few days. They also had an encounter with another student at work which stressed her even more. She asked to meet with her team to request some time off because she could not handle going to work in light of all the stress she was going through. If you take 2 Occupational Therapy interns, add a Clinical department, a quiet room and some unused clinical funds you create a wonderful sensory room! During this past Christmas break, with some help from our OT interns, SVA has designed and created a sensory room specifically geared towards our students (though there have been staff sightings from time to time). The goal of the sensory room is for students to have a place to relax, decompress and reduce their anxiety. Some of the most favorite items include a bungee chair, crash pad, rocking chair and a bubble tube. We are so excited to add this to our list of services available to the students. If you happen to be visiting SVA we encourage you to come on by and give the room a try. |
