Our Commitment to Social Emotional Learning
What is Social Emotional Learning or SEL?
Social Emotional Learning is an integral part of education and human development. SEL is the process through which all young people and adults acquire and apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to develop healthy identities, manage emotions and achieve personal and collective goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain supportive relationships, and make responsible and caring decisions.

Student SEL Surveys
You should have received an "Opt Out" Letter for your son/daughter to participate in Panorama's SEL Survey and we hope that you will "opt in" to have your student participate in the survey. These surveys will give us important information about our students so that our staff can better support them.
