As many as 28% of children experience school avoidance, most commonly among 10- to 13-year-olds and children transitioning to a new school.

School avoidance is rarely about school itself. It is often rooted in anxiety, depression, social challenges, and other emotional pressures that go unaddressed. When students do not have access to timely support, avoidance can escalate quickly and become a significant barrier to academic success and long-term wellbeing.

Uwill partners with K-12 districts, charter schools, boarding schools, and independent schools to give students same-day access to a licensed therapist, direct crisis connection in less than 20 seconds, and on-demand wellness programming, at no cost, with no waitlists, no referrals, and no insurance required, available day, night, weekend, holiday, and school breaks.

Last Wednesday, Northampton’s cross country teams raced phenomenally against Nandua and Arcadia at the Eastern Shore District championships and Senior Night on October 21. Both teams placed first - the girls' team won by a solid 15 points, while the boys' team won by a remarkable 36 points.

Both teams will be advancing to the Class 1A Regional championships on Thursday, October 29, at West Point Country Club. The girls' team, consisting of Renniah R, Scarlette G, Sophie T, Savana R, Izabella CR, and Eymi EP, will race at 12:00 pm. The top seven racers from the boys' team - Santino S, Jayden T, Aaiden B, Hudson T, Carter F, Jacob D, and Walker T - will race at 12:45 pm. Alex V, Ayden R, and Raymond L will travel as alternates for the boys' team.

Wish the teams luck on Thursday as they compete for a regional championship and a bid to the state championships in Salem, VA!
