Social And Emotional Learning
Dear North Shore School District 112 Staff, Families, & Community,
With the new year underway, we wanted to make sure you have all of the resources possible to have a successful and pleasant new year. To that end, we have pulled together some of the Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) resources that we have provided over the last few months. We hope that pulling all of these tools into one place, will allow you to explore them at your leisure.
Thank you,
Holly Colin. Ed.D.
Assistant Superintendent of Student Services
