This year we have rolled out new Social Emotional Learning opportunities in your students Cohort. One of those pieces is the adoption of The YouSchool program. These guided, self-reflective conversations with peers and a trained YouSchool Guide (their Cohort teacher), is an opportunity for our students to grow in Self-Awareness, Self-Confidence, and Self-Direction.

A great supplement The YouSchool program provides are great Podcasts that you can choose to listen to with your student(s) to have meaningful conversations at home. We will be sharing with you the Podcasts which align with our monthly topics.

This month the topic is SQUAD. Focusing on building healthy relationships. Take the time to listen to SQUAD with your child, on The YouSchool Podcast. It is a great way to start meaningful conversations and stay connected!

If you have any questions or comments email Laura Hughes, our Lead School Social Emotional Counselor at lhughes@classicalacademy.com
