Poughkeepsie City School District

7 Mindsets is an evidence-based learning platform that centers on the idea that a person’s success is based more on what they think and less on what they know. Through the Office of School Engagement, 7 Mindsets was implemented district-wide last year as part of the district's commitment to providing exceptional social and emotional learning opportunities for all. There are philosophies and components to assist employees, parents and families, and students alike, with newsletters and daily motivational messages available.

Join in each month as we dive into a new mindset with supportive components. Here are 4 ways you can join in:

• Read the monthly 7 Mindsets newsletters when they are available. There’s a parent edition and a staff edition, and the parent’s edition is available in English and Spanish (see below). Parents can learn and participate in fun at-home activities with their students. Staff can learn and grow at home with encouraging self-reflection activities. And each month high-achieving students and staff are recognized.
• Staff can participate in the monthly 7 Mindsets Healthy Mindsets group.
• Everyone can sign up to receive a daily 7 Mindsets Morning Mindsets quote to kick off your day with encouragement and motivation.
• Visit the main 7 Mindsets site to learn more about the national initiative.
