Social Emotional Learning News
Throughout the year, your child will be provided Home Links that go with several of the Second Step lessons. Home Links are simple, fun activities for you and your child to complete together. They are a great way for you to understand what your child is learning and for your child to show you what he or she knows. As a continued effort to provide families with Social Emotional Learning resources, Second Step offers parents and guardians the opportunity to access the Home Links and other resources online. In order to access these resources, parents and guardians of students in grades K-5 can go to the website, www.secondstep.org, create an account, and then enter the activation code below(first photo box) for the grade level your child is enrolled in. For parents and guardians of sixth graders, please access the website, www.parenteenconnect.org. Thank you for supporting your child in learning the skills that lead to success in school and in life.
