SEL Screener

Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) commits to supporting all students’ mental wellness and social and emotional learning (SEL). The School Board has approved a screener to review students’ skills and experiences in these areas. SEL skills include self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision making. More information, including a short video about the SEL screener in FCPS and the screener questions, can be found on the SEL Screener webpage (https://www.fcps.edu/node/43892). Please contact Mr. Alex Mantel, our SEL screener lead, with questions at armantel@fcps.edu. 

At Langley High School, we intend to implement the SEL screener on Tuesday, November 1st during Langley Links. If you do not want your student to take part in the SEL screener, please complete the opt-out by October 14, 2022 via your SIS ParentVUE account, or complete the opt-out form that was mailed in mid-September and deliver to the main office. The opt-out form can be located in various translations here: https://www.fcps.edu/student-tests-and-assessments/student-assessment-details/social-emotional-screener/notification-letters
