At West University Elementary we understand the importance of wellness as it impacts social emotional learning skills  

WUES looks at wellness as being an active process of making optimal health and well-being choices rather than remaining in a static state. In the words of Maya Angelou, "when we know better, we do better." Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) is also a 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. These skills provide the foundation for successful relationships with others- and with ourselves. We can help by modeling, teaching, and allowing opportunities to practice these skills in a safe environment.  We encourage adults and students alike to explore the resources shared on this page.
