What is SEL?
SEL stands for Social Emotional Learning, and the NJDOE defines it as the process through which children and adults understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions. Research has found that sustained and comprehensive SEL programming has been found to positively impact academic achievement, social and emotional well-being, and classroom behavior.
Communicating With You
Our favorite part of our job is meeting with students face to face! That said, the School Counselors and our SAC, are using Zoom video conferencing to connect with students as needed or requested. You can email your counselor to set up a phone call or Zoom video conference, and/or counselors may contact home via email or telephone.
