A Message from the Principal
Dear Parents,
As an educationally progressive and child centered institution, our mission is to not only foster an atmosphere of academic excellence, but to include social and emotional development as vital components of the educational program as well.
YLS prioritizes the social, emotional,and spiritual growth of each student. We create learning experiences so that we are teaching and noting progress. We are constantly working to ensure that our students are learning, internalizing, and practicing the skills they need to grow in each of these areas. In just the past two weeks alone, in conjunction with studying the parshiot, we learned mediation strategies for our mediation zone, we learned how to be a guest and how to be a host, and we learned about excluding and including.
Two weeks ago we had the honor of giving Dr. Rona Novick, Dean of Yeshiva University’s Azrieli Graduate School for Jewish Education and Administration and a highly regarded authority on social and emotional learning, a tour of Yeshiva Lab School and a glimpse into the social and emotional learning our children are doing. In the video below, Dr. Novick, talks about how social intelligence is the foundation for Jewish living. She suggests three things that adults can do to help children grow in these areas: value it, live it, and teach it.
We look forward to partnering with each of you to continue helping your child to grow socially, emotionally, and spiritually not just this year, but throughout each of his/her future years at YLS.
Shabbat Shalom,
Mrs. Becky Troodler
