What are the students learning?
After Spring Break, students spent a few days reviewing campus-wide expectations. Starting this week, Elementary students began learning responsible decision-making and problem solving skills, while Intermediate and Middle School students took a deeper dive into managing relationships and social conflicts. High School students explored how to create habits and improve habits.
Families looking to engage their students around these topics can ask questions like:
- What are you learning during SEL time this week?
- What are some clues your body might give you when are having strong emotions?
- What are some ways that strong emotions impact your ability to make decisions?
- What are some ways you can be helpful at______ (home, school, community)?
