Highlight of the Week!
On Tuesday, Mrs. Kim Dahlem, Director of Student Services, and Mrs. Kim Lechner, Assistant Director of Student Services, presented Social and Emotional Learning at Ivy Hall School. This excellent presentation focused upon the five social emotional learning (SEL) competencies: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision making. As SEL committee representatives, Mrs. Dahlem and Mrs. Lechner, were excited to share the District's work thus far along with sharing resources for raising caring, confident, and capable children.
