SEL Family Night 2020

The SECD committee was fortunate to hold its first community involvement event one week before schools closed for the COVID-19 pandemic. With over 160 people in attendance, students and committee members explained what SEL is, how SEL is implemented and what it looks like in our schools & classrooms, and how to support children in developing & practicing SEL skills at home.
