Steps to Success

October 25, 2019

Dear Manning Community,

We are excited to let you know that our Steps to Success Program is once again underway at the Manning Elementary School. In case you don’t know, Steps to Success is one of the key components of our social-emotional learning structure. We believe that explicitly teaching social-emotional skills while providing students with opportunities for practice and reflection throughout the school day benefits all members of our community.

Over the course of the school year, students will learn about and engage in a variety of experiences that will support them in further developing their abilities to use these important skills. Students will participate in school-wide discussions, read and discuss themed stories within their classrooms, and have opportunities to learn about these skills from students in other grade levels by watching short videos that are created by the Manning students. We encourage you to ask your child/children about this important learning that takes place each day at the Manning School.

Our school-wide Steps to Success program is based on research from The Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL). If you are interested in learning more, please visit https://casel.org/
