  • Thank you for taking a step to create balance, rest, and rejuvenate! Hawken Upper School offers two Mental Health Days during the school year, and it is one step that can be taken to care for a student’s mental health needs.

    When taking a Mental Health Day, students are encouraged to engage in activities that will contribute to long-term resilience, which may include stepping away from social media and trying out the following:

    • Engaging in an activity that brings joy, such as a favorite hobby.
    • Physical activity such as taking a walk, yoga, or other other enjoyable exercise.
    • Traveling outdoors and taking in the environment.

    Note: If a student needs more than two mental health days, the student and family can meet with a Dean and school psychologist to assess what can be done to reduce stress and what other supports/accommodations we can provide to support the student's well-being and learning.

  • Reason for mental health day:*
  • Would you like the admin team or school psychologist to follow up with your child?*
  • If this is an emergency, call 911.

    If this is not an emergency, someone will be in contact within 72 hours. Follow-up by an advisor, administrator, and/or school psychologist may occur the day of and/or after the Mental Health Day.

  • This type of absence requires both the online form and the following printed form, which should be completed by the student.
