Second Step social-emotional learning curriculum
This school year we are using a program called Second Step.
Weekly lessons help to build a foundation for a positive, inclusive culture through developing social-emotional competencies, which include perspective-taking, empathy, processing emotions, understanding and resolving conflicts and building positive relationships.
This week students learned "Mistakes are OK!"
IMPORTANT ATTENDANCE INFORMATION:
If your child is absent - please be sure to call the office or communicate the reason with their teacher.

Important Note About Free Meal Program
While all students are eligible for free meals for the 2021-22 school year, there are restrictions to the program per the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) guidelines.
If your student brings lunch from home but still wants milk, fruit, or a vegetable to go with their meal, the USDA requires us to charge a small fee because it is considered an a la carte “add-on” purchase. According to USDA rules, the free program only applies to “complete” meals.
To avoid this fee, students who bring their lunch from home are invited to go through the lunch line and get fruit, vegetable, and milk for FREE. This meets the USDA requirements for a balanced meal so there is no cost.
The program will run through June 2022, or until USDA funding runs out (whichever occurs first).
