Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) Screener
Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) commits to supporting all students’ mental wellness and social and emotional learning (SEL). FCPS staff will use the SEL screener to identify strengths and needs for students in grades K-12. The screener provides information regarding students’ experiences and how staff can support their needs.
SEL skills include self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. The screener will review these skills, as well as students’ relationships, feelings of belonging, feelings about their school environment, and mood. These factors are critical to positive academic, social, and emotional success.
Schools will set specific dates for testing in each class. If you wish to opt your child out of participating in the SEL Screener, please complete this attached form and return it to your child’s Unity Time Teacher by September 30.
