The UES Character Strong Theme for January is EMPATHY!
This month we are talking about Empathy!
One way to think about Empathy is “understanding and connecting with other people’s feelings.” Empathy is a practice that can help us grow strong relationships. Empathy is 1 of 3 traits we will focus on throughout the year that helps students Be Kind. Throughout the school, students will be developing skills like perspective-taking, conflict resolution, and leadership.
Help your child be on time for school!
It's Cold Outside!
