SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING (SEL)

 
Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) is a process through which children understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.
 
At Pietrini School, we value social emotional learning and understand that a student who does not feel happy, safe, and supported, will not be able to learn and grow to his or her full potential. Our social worker, Mr. Jensen, goes into our classrooms to work with students on expressing feelings, managing emotions and relationships, and creating goals. Our classroom teachers often start the day with a morning check-in in order to monitor student wellness and promote a team mentality. If you have any questions regarding SEL at Pietrini, please reach out to your child's teacher or Mr. Jensen at [email protected].
