If you were a parent in Eanes last year, you are already familiar with the Social Emotional Learning (SEL) criteria on the report card, which was added last year. For some of you, this information may have provided welcomed reassurance, while others may have been left wondering how better to support your child’s social-emotional growth at home. One of our favorite resources is Parent Toolkit (http://www.parenttoolkit.com/). This website has a wealth of resources and information on topics ranging from academics to health & wellness- there’s even a section on financial literacy. As counselors, we are particularly fond of the social and emotional section! There you can find developmental milestones, strategies to support your child’s social and emotional growth and many great articles. We hope you will find this tool helpful whether you are in immediate need of support, or you want to bookmark the resource for future use.
With cooler temperatures looking like they may be here to stay, we are starting to see our lost and found collection growing. We want to remind you the importance of labeling your children’s coats/jackets, lunch boxes and water bottles! The more information you can include on an item (first and last name is most helpful), the better chance we have of getting it back to its rightful owner! We have fifth graders who help out three times a week to organize lost and found items, look for names, and return labeled items to their owners. We will donate unclaimed, unlabeled items that are left over winter break to help minimize clutter.
