Second Step Instruction
As a reminder, Second Step is our Tier 1 SEL curriculum and should be taught to all students. Have a plan for Second Step instruction clearly communicated with your team.
Middle school- how, when, and who will be delivering Second Step lessons?
Elementary- please share the Second Step Scope and Sequence: Elementary School with your teachers.

Foster Youth and McKinney-Vento (MV)
Later today you will receive your spreadsheet that has your current Foster Youth and McKinney-Vento students (as of Tuesday) listed. This is the monthly check-in sheet your counselor (if you have one) or Naomi Blaine, District Social Worker and MV Liaison, will use to record check-ins. This sheet is also for your knowledge so you are aware of which students on your campus are FY and MV and may need some extra support. As new students register, please see the information on the clerical guide to support next steps for making sure they are coded correctly and added to the list.
