Social Emotinal Learning
Social Emotional Learning Newsletters
Prior to starting school in 2020, our district leadership wanted to put something together for parents to support social emotional student well-being. I was tasked with developing content and method of delivery. I created a newsletter which went home in student lunches each week.

The blast highlighted a specific skill and linked back to a webpage, which had additional activities to further learning at home. Activities were organized by grade bands -elementary, middle, and high school.
