Weeks 1 - 7: RELATIONSHIP SKILLS
Weeks 1 - 7: RELATIONSHIP SKILLS
Definition: The ability to establish and maintain healthy and rewarding relationships with diverse individuals and groups. This includes communicating clearly, listening actively, cooperating, resisting inappropriate social pressure, negotiating conflict constructively, and seeking and offering help when needed. (www.casel.org)
The Why: Learning the skills necessary to have healthy relationships is critical to our happiness and success. As students will learn from both home and in person, building relationships early on will be crucial. Family relationships are also changing since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. We hope you find the resources, tips, and ideas helpful and you navigate social-emotional learning with your child.
As with any skill, mastery takes regular, intentional practice. Fortunately, the more confident and competent a young person becomes with the skills, the more “transferable” the skills will be. This means that these same skills will be more readily available down the road, in other situations, when your child encounters challenging social or work situations.

30 Days of Kindness (by Character Strong)
30 Days of Kindness (by Character Strong)
This pandemic will be painful personally, financially, spiritually, and all-directionally. We recognize that people will be hurt in more ways than Kindness can cure. Along the way, we must also exercise empathy for those who are most immediately impacted and LISTEN to the advice of experts who have dedicated their lives to help prepare us for this very thing: wash hands, social distance, don’t overbuy, don’t overburden the system, and don’t spread fear or misinformation.
That said, we are capable of widespread compassion. We must demonstrate abundant hope. We will combat the spreading shadow with the fullness of our light. We may not all be doctors, but we can each use our platform to make Kindness a bit more normal and the world a bit more bright.
It won’t solve the sickness, but it may help the soul.
Below you will find 30 challenges for you to complete starting August 17. Track your progress HERE. Each weekday, visit this site and complete your challenge, take a picture, and post on social media with the hashtags #BeKindAllisonSELC, #BeKindClemensHS or #BeKindSteeleHS.

Humans are social beings. We were made to thrive in packs and work together. No matter how introverted or extroverted you are, everyone of us has a variety of unique relationships in our lives. Those could be family relationships, friendships, romantic relationships with teachers, administrators, counselors, and other authority figures.
But how do we know if we are practicing healthy relationships? Relationships building takes two people doing their own part to contribute to the relationship. But what is your part? And what are the signs you may be engaging in an unhealthy relationship? Take the quiz below to see where you stand on relationship skills!
Online Relationships
Online Relationships
Over the past few weeks, many of us have experienced less face to face interaction with other humans. Our class starting school online. Our friends may be stuck at home. Everything is closed! This means many of you are moving online to fulfill your academic and social needs. But, remember! It is important to practice healthy relationships online. Here are some tips about Netiquette for your online school work and suggestions for your interactions with your peers.
Enter your full name to identify yourself (First & Last). Those not identifying themselves properly may be dismissed.
Mute your microphone when you are not speaking. This ensures everyone can hear the presenter.
Click the "Raise Your Hand" button if you would like to comment or ask a question. When your teacher recognizes you, unmute and speak.
When you are finished speaking let the class know by saying "that's all" or "I'm done" and re-muting your microphone.
Be aware of your surroundings. If your background is distracting (people walking around, pets, etc.) considering muting your video as well.
Dress appropriately for school.
If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
