🩷Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) Screener: Parent Reports Available
Students in grades 3-12 took the SEL Screener last month, providing reflection on skills like achieving goals, understanding and managing emotions, establishing and maintaining relationships, and making responsible decisions.
The screener also asks students how well their school community makes them feel valued, included, and supported.
Individual student SEL Screener reports are now available to families in the Documents section of SIS ParentVUE. For families who do not have an active ParentVUE account, reports will be mailed directly to you.
For support in understanding your individual student’s results or for ideas on how to support them at home, please review the Family Guide or reach out to our school counselors (Paula Augenstein or Lisa Railan) or your child’s teacher.
