Second Step (K-3) &
Steps to Respect (4 & 5) Guidance Programs

The goal of the program is to reduce impulsive and aggressive behavior in children and increase their level of social competence.  The curriculum teaches students several skills central to healthy social and emotional development.  Studies find that children with weak social and emotional skills are at risk for developing more serious problems throughout childhood and adolescence as well as later in the workplace.

Letters will be sent home throughout the year explaining more about these programs. They will inform you about what your child is currently learning as they participate in these programs and will provide more information on how to assist your child with their emotional intelligence.  (click here for the Second Step and Steps to Respect website)  http://www.cfchildren.org/programs/ssp/overview/
