Word for the Warrior
Hello Warriors,
I wanted to take a minute to thank all of you for supporting our students during our SLE time daily. Thank you for the work you are doing in spending time talking WITH students about Naviance, Second Step and for engaging students in their weekly SMART goals. We know it is important for students to know HOW to log into PS and set goals, but the REAL power comes when students talk with a caring adult about their grades, goals and next steps. Thank you for connecting with students through Motivation Monday and through restorative circles. This connection matters and it provides time for students to be truly seen and heard.
This work is vital to connecting with our students and engaging them in developing the social emotional skills necessary to be successful students here at Sevier both behaviorally and academically. More importantly, we are building the skills that our students need to be successful in life.
It is critical that we are consistent in our approach to providing all students with these experiences and I am grateful to our counselors for helping us plan day-to-day lessons for us AND that they have taken time to model for us what this is to look likely daily in classrooms. They are more than happy to model for you again if needed.
This is not work that can be rushed through, combined or skipped. This work is to be done WITH students and not TO students and it requires engagement, investment and commitment.
Our social emotional time daily goes hand in hand with restorative practices that we are working on this year to make a difference in the lives of our kids and create a positive culture here at Sevier.
Monday - Monday Motivation
Tuesday - Goal Setting (Powerschool/grades)
Wednesday - Naviance
Thursday - Second Step
Friday - Goal Setting (Goal for the next week)
This work has been shared with JSMS Families and the response has been very positive. Our families consider us extensions of their family and they value this work in supporting the development of their children!
Thank you for your commitment to this work! Stay tuned for highlights of YOUR work in this section during the weeks to come!
Proud to be a Warrior,
Holly
