SEL: Hi families! We’re Tiffani Brown, the school counselor, and Lauren Spring, the counseling intern. We’ll be visiting classrooms every other month to teach social-emotional skills like understanding feelings, making friends, and solving problems. Updates from SEL won’t be weekly, but we’ll share highlights ahead of each visit. We’re excited to support your kiddos in growing confidence, kindness, and a sense of belonging!
