Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools

Our team supports our district in implementing systematic Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and Restorative Practices in alignment with our district's mission to equip our students "...with the interpersonal, academic, and workforce skills to compete globally and contribute to society."

Our Vision: In collaboration with families and community partners, Winston-Salem Forsyth County Schools creates a restorative and equitable learning environment that maximizes personal growth for both students and adults.  Through intentional supportive relationships, our culture and climate promotes the social emotional well-being of all learners as the building blocks to their academic and personal success.
