One of our school's goals is to improve the social emotional wellness of our students. Improving social emotional wellness will help improve student learning. Our school is already doing a lot of great things. From teaching regulation strategies like Zones of Regulation and MindUP, to different opportunities for clubs and recess activities. We also host assemblies for students to both celebrate student achievement and to teach some character education. Every week, Mme El Khatib and Mr. Larson will be working with students at each grade level with character education and wellness. This month, the focus is on respect.
