SEL message
Hello Amazing Staff!
Couple of quick SEL reminders:
Try to incorporate the 3 signature practices in all your lessons. These are:
1. Warm welcome
2. Engaging practices
3. Optimistic close
These are the same practices we use at all our staff meetings.
We should all be working on Relationship Skills in our Advisory groups. SEL activities for this and other areas of SEL are in the Google Drive. Just a note that the table of contents is under constructions. Relationship Skills is in the 4th of 5 sections.
You can access the document here: SEL Activities
Don’t forget to set an intention for the day or week
We need BINGO prizes!!!
You can bring them to the main office. Thanks!

Hi Transition Plus!
Do you have students who need work experience to put on their resumes?
Do you have students who need to improve their employability skills?
Do you have a student who enjoys using the computer, scanner, laminator, and copier, as well as performing other clerical duties such as data entry, cutting, binding, hole-punching and more?
Then your student should sign up for The Scan Lab! The Scan Lab is a perfect place for students on Team 1, 2, and 3 to build resumes and employability skills in school!
Scan Lab still has openings for 2nd and 5th hour Monday/Wednesday and 2nd hour Tuesday! Get your student signed up before classes fill up!
If you have students who would be interested in this opportunity, please sign them up with Rachel Prince!
