Belonging at Dr. Coffin School

As principal of this school, I see firsthand how a sense of belonging can transform a child’s school experience. When students feel valued, safe, and connected, they are more engaged, more confident, and more willing to take on new challenges.

Belonging isn’t just about fitting in—it’s about being accepted for who you are. That’s why we prioritize creating a safe, inclusive and supportive environment where every child knows they are a vital part of our community. We are intentional about fostering connection at Dr. Coffin!

Research shows that children who feel they belong are more likely to succeed academically and socially. As educators and families, we play a critical role in nurturing this feeling. Simple actions—like encouraging friendships, recognizing each child’s unique strengths, and creating opportunities for teamwork—make a lasting impact.

Together, let’s continue building a community where all children thrive!
