Virginia Kindness Week recognizes the simple day-to-day acts of kindness that enable our schools, communities, and state to be a kinder, safer, healthier and more inclusive place to live, work, learn and play. Ideas for how to promote kindness in your school community can be found at the link below. The Division of DEIA would love to hear from your school about how students are participating and showing kindness!

We hope you find it informative and are able to try out some of the activities at home with your Mustang.
The Spring Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) Screener will be administered to students in grades 3-6 during the week of February 26th-March 1st. Students use the SEL Screener twice a year to share their perspectives on how well their school and community help them develop skills they need to succeed. The screener works by asking questions or presenting statements that students can think about and respond to. More information is available about the SEL Screener by accessing this link:
