Ensuring ALL students experience a caring, inclusive environment that supports the whole child is of utmost importance in the Whitefish Bay School District. We continue to focus balanced attention to physical, social, emotional, and intellectual well-being and ensure collaboration with parents and community providers.
Social and Emotional Learning is the process through which children and adults acquire and effectively apply the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships and make responsible decisions. We will continue to expand our learning in the area of social emotional learning across all stakeholders during the 2017-2018 school year.
We welcome suggestions and feedback and we continue to enhance our supports for students and their families.
