Social Emotional Learning Survey
As part of our district’s ongoing efforts to create a safe, welcoming, and supportive learning environment for all students, your child will be invited to take a Social Emotional Learning Survey on Wednesday, January 28 (HLA students will take the survey on Tuesday, January 27).
- The results of the survey will help our staff strengthen programs and support that increase our learner’s awareness and competency with social emotional skills.
- Results of the survey will be published in March on the district website.
