Roadrunner Report
September 4th, 2026
Dear Roadrunner Families,
This month, our students are learning and growing in more ways than one! Along with their academic learning, we are placing an important focus on the social-emotional skills that help children succeed both in and out of the classroom.
Throughout the school year, students will continue developing skills connected to the five areas of social-emotional learning: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. These skills help students understand their emotions, manage challenges, build positive relationships, show empathy, solve problems, and make thoughtful choices.
Social-emotional learning is an important part of student success. When children feel safe, connected, and confident, they are better prepared to take risks, persevere through challenges, work collaboratively, and focus on learning.
You can keep the conversation going at home! Consider asking your child:
- What is something you did today that made you feel proud?
- How did you handle a challenging situation today?
- How did you show kindness or help someone else?
- What is one good decision you made today?
- What is something you are still learning to do better?
By working together to support both the hearts and minds of our students, we can help them grow into confident, caring, and capable learners!
Take good care of each other and have a peaceful and happy week,
Julie
