sel tips and resources
for families and educators of sd57
helpful tips, strategies, activities and resources for parents and staff!
Throughout the school year, both elementary and secondary parents and staff can receive helpful tips, strategies, activities and resources to support their children at home and in the classroom. Family and school can work together to improve children's social emotional learning skills while engaging parents.
While supporting sel and safe schools, you may find yourself needing to target a particular issue. A separate flyer specific to your needs can be developed. Take a look at this one on school and family stress,

and child anxiety.

The flyers I send are an easy read on smartphones and tablets. As well, a separate email will be forwarded to you with the link to the webpage to access the current or past flyers, as this may make it easier to provide the information to parents and staff. While some schools send the flyers directly to staff and parents, and provide the link on the school web site or Facebook, others put the link on their newsletters or take a specific tip and include it in their communication.
You will receive your Back to School flyers soon!

Just a quick note to say at our last DPAC meeting a representative commented on how great this piece was on "Talking with Children about Tragic Events." Very timely, with our thanks." DPAC chairperson
I think it is a wonderful resource, which is why I added the link to the library web-page.

Can you please send me a copy of the information you have put together on grandparents raising grandchildren. I am also wondering if you know if this documentary will be shown in Kelowna. I know someone who could greatly benefit from seeing this. Thanks so much for sharing. Elementary Literacy Resource Teacher
I would love it if you could send some flyers to my school. We do have some grandparents who are raising their grandchildren, including some on staff. I feel it would be a good resource to have. Principal, Secondary School
