Upcoming K-3 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. FCPS staff will use the 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.
To review what the screener looks like by grade level, please go to the FCPS SEL Screener webpage. The SEL Screener window for Winter is March 1-24, 2023.
For more information, please connect with your child’s counselor:
Heather Lomelin, Counselor for Grades 1, 3, and 5: HELomelin@fcps.edu
Beau Buchanan, Counselor for Kinder, Grades 2, 4, and 6: BSBuchanan@fcps.edu
Please respond no later than February 24h if you would like your child to be opted out of the SEL Screener, the Opt Out is good through the calendar year. Please note if you have already opted your child from taking the SEL Screener, you do not need to resubmit an opt out.
