Learning goes better when a student is fed, rested, supported, and steady. This page gathers New Mexico food and nutrition assistance alongside mental health, movement, sleep, and social-emotional resources for PCA families — wherever in the state you're logging in from. Reach out to your student's homeroom teacher to access services.
- PCA School Health Advisory Council (SHAC)
PCA's counseling and related services team supports students' emotional well-being as part of the whole learning experience — including direct counseling, IEP-related services, and referrals to outside care when a family needs more support than the school can provide. Reach out to your student's counselor any time you have a concern.

Learning from home makes it easy to sit for long stretches. The CDC recommends that children and teens get regular movement built into every day — a good goal for online school schedules, too.

moderate-to-vigorous activity daily, ages 6–17
vigorous aerobic activity (running, sports)
muscle- and bone-strengthening activity
Build movement into virtual school days with stretch breaks between classes, a walk before or after login, or a shared family activity in the evening.
Consistent sleep supports attention, mood, and learning — especially for students managing their own online schedule.
A steady bedtime and wake time, a screen wind-down before bed, and a consistent morning routine before logging in all help students show up ready to learn.

recommended nightly sleep, ages 6–12
recommended nightly sleep, ages 13–18

Social-emotional learning (SEL) helps students manage emotions, build relationships, and make good decisions — skills that matter as much in a virtual classroom as in person. These five areas, defined by CASEL, show up in PCA's counseling and SEL programming.
Self-Awareness - Understanding one's own emotions, thoughts, and values, and how they shape behavior.
Self-Management - Managing emotions and behavior effectively, including stress and motivation, to reach goals.
Social Awareness - Understanding and empathizing with others, including people from different backgrounds and experiences.
Relationship Skills - Building and maintaining healthy relationships and communicating well with diverse people and groups.
Responsible Decision-Making - Making caring, constructive choices about behavior, weighing consequences for oneself and others.
