Abstract

Students’ well-being plays a major role in the quality of their academic outcomes and the COVID-19 pandemic has amplified risk factors for student well-being due to social isolation. This poster presents the results of a cross sectional study that investigated the associations among 4th to 12th grade students’ perceptions of COVID-19 related stress, social support, and internalizing problems and how these perceptions differ across grade levels. Implications for schools, educators, students, and parents will be discussed.
