Relationship Skills

For the month of December, we are focusing on the importance of Relationship skills during Morning Meetings and throughout our school. Relationship skills are defined as, "the ability to establish and maintain healthy and rewarding relationships with diverse individuals and groups. The ability to communicate clearly, listen well, cooperate with others, resist inappropriate social pressure, negotiate conflict constructively, and seek and offer help when needed". -CASEL
