Dear Algonquin Lakes Elementary Family, Second Step Curriculum We are excited to let you know that we are continuing with a K-5 curriculum Second Step which addresses student’s social and emotional skills. Social skills include things like making and keeping friends, showing respect for others, and resolving disagreements in positive ways. Emotional skills include things like being able to recognize their own and others’ emotions, and showing healthy self-control. In addition, your child’s classroom will be participating in the Devereux Student Strengths Assessment (DESSA) Program. The goal of this program is for teachers and families to identify and enhance a child’s social and emotional skills, which are essential to academic achievement. Teachers will use Second Step and the DESSA to help children be more successful in school. In addition, teachers will share information about activities that you can do at home to build your child’s social and emotional skills. We are working to improve your children’s education by ensuring it meets their unique needs. If you have any questions regarding this program, please feel free to contact me.
