SEL

We are excited to share that we will be using a program called PurposeFull People this year. This program teaches skills that will help students be successful in school and in life.

We believe that students should have safe, predictable places to learn where they feel included. Students should have healthy and helpful connections with teachers and classmates. They should also experience learning that will help them tackle challenges inside and outside of school. PurposeFullPeople is more than a set of lessons - it is a partnership between schools and families to create a place where students feel like they belong and learn skills that will help them be the best they can be!

Purposefull People has three main goals for students: Be Kind, Be Strong, and Be Well.

• Be Kind: Social skills like listening, friendship, solving conflicts, and leadership.
  • These skills are taught alongside Empathy, Respect, & Cooperation
• Be Strong: Skills that help students focus, stay organized, and set goals.
  • These skills are taught alongside Responsibility, Courage, & Perseverance
• Be Well: Skills that help students handle their emotions and deal with stress.
  • These skills are taught alongside Gratitude, Honesty, & Creativity

Each month newsletters will be shared through our Family Newsletters informing you about the skills and strengths being taught.  Each newsletter includes some ways to build these skills at home, discussion starts, and fun challenges you can try as a family.
