Florida Department of Education (FDOE) Comprehensive Health Education Mandates

The School District of Indian River County is committed to inspiring and empowering all students to maximize their full potential. This mission aligns with the State Board of Education Rule Memo that requires the provision of required instruction related to mental and emotional health education to every student in grades K-12 annually. Content areas include mental and emotional health, substance use and prevention, internet safety, human trafficking, and character education.  Each domain supports emotional resiliency and academic success in a global community.

Students in grades K-12 will receive the required Character Education & Resiliency lessons through the Navigate 360 platform located in the students Class Link account.  Parents can also view the lessons through the student Class Link Account. 

To support students' resilience, Florida’s First Lady Casey DeSantis has launched the Build Resiliency website. Parents and caregivers can explore the characteristics of resilience with their children.
