Thanks to those of you who joined our October Parent Association meeting last Friday. We welcomed Matt Diefenbach, St. John Commission Chair, to share with us about the Commission’s work. Check out the meeting recording and notes on the Parent Association site for more information about what the School Commission does as well as other topics from the meeting. We hope to see you at our next PA meeting on Friday, November 4, 8:30am. All parents and guardians of students are welcome to attend.
Thank you to Ms. Shaw, our school counselor, for kicking off the PA Guest Speaker series last night with a presentation about the integration of Second Step into the St. John curriculum. Used in over 30,000 schools, across 7 countries, with translations in 10 languages, Second Step is a research-based curriculum that supports students’ social-emotional learning and development. Couldn’t join this session? Check out the recording here. If you have questions about Second Step at St. John, take a look at Ms. Shaw’s counselor page, which has excellent resources to help support students’ social-emotional health.
