Parents and community members -
Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is an instrumental part of every child's development and education! Did you know that the majority of skills employers look for aren't math, science, reading, etc.... they're social skills like self-regulation, responsibility, and initiative!
"Simply put, SEL is how children learn to better understand themselves, relate to others, and work toward their goals. SEL includes five [basic] social and emotional skills – self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision making – that can be taught at all ages and in many different ways.
When young people have caring adults and many opportunities to practice these skills, they do better in school, feel good about themselves, can manage stress, and have healthier relationships."
Our Core Essentials curriculum and student recognition are just a couple ways that our school is trying to teach our students' these skills but we need help! Parents and community leaders are SO important in this mission; it's not enough for them to just learn and practice these skills at school, they need it at home and in the community, too!
To learn more about SEL and how you can help your students advance these skills at home, take a look at the website below:

Students in the 4th Hour Culinary Applications class prepared Pan-Seared Scallops with parsnip puree, quick-pickled apples, and bacon. This dish was not only beautiful - it was absolutely delicious! It is definitely an appetizer that would be at home on the menu at an upscale restaurant! Their garnishing skills were on point and overall they did a fabulous job!
Baking & Pastries students will soon be preparing various sourdough bread products. Starters are being divided and fed to ensure enough for several labs, including artisanal sourdough, dinner rolls, and pancakes.

Hello families!
It's that time of the year again; Angel Tree time! If you need help providing some gifts to your children for the Holidays, you can find an Angel Tree application at either office in Stafford Schools! These will also be available at the front tables at student-led conferences tomorrow. Once completed, please return your form to the Elementary Office by November 12th.
On the flip side of that, if you are feeling generous this season and have the means to do so, please stop by the Prairie Bank of Kansas here in Stafford to grab a tag (or more!) to help families in need with gifts! They hope to have the Angel Tree tags up and ready to take by November 15th.
