Our schools are teaching students important lessons about emotions and how to understand them. In elementary schools, students might call these lessons "morning meetings," and in middle and high schools, they might call them "Character Strong lessons." No matter what they are called, these lessons help make our schools places where students feel safe, included, and cared for.

For more information please contact your child's school counselor.

Entertainment and tech have the potential to spark meaningful conversations. And tech planners are a great way for kids to have a shared understanding of how your family makes the most out of entertainment and tech time.
