Social-Emotional Instructional Activities
As students and staff return to school this year, whether it is in the building or through remote learning, the social emotional needs of our students is a priority. Maintaining connectedness during times of disruption helps students to feel safe and supported.

Please reach out to any member of the Pupil Services team for support.
