Comfort Crew
Get to Know the Comfort Crew
The Comfort Crew dogs work in our schools as part of the District’s emotional health and wellness initiatives. The furry friends belong to staff members in the District and have been highly trained. The dogs have passed the Canine Good Citizen course and the Advanced Canine Good Citizen course.
Our dogs spend time with students observing lessons, attending concerts, carefully watching experiments, being read to, providing comfort during tough times and more.
Cheers to Beatrice, Bleu, Cocoa, Hazel, Korra, Parker, Winnie and Yuki.
We also remember Millie, who served on the Comfort Crew team but is no longer with us, and Samson, who retired in 2026.
