Our elementary school counselors provide each child with social emotional skills that will not only be beneficial for their education but throughout their life journey. Social emotional lessons are crucial in order for all students to thrive in relationships, academics, and personally.
All Nyack elementary students receive SEL lessons twice a month in their classrooms. These students learn a variety of skills and topics through our SEL curriculum called SECOND STEP such as;
Kindness and acceptance
Bullying
Problem Solving
Empathy/Compassion
Conflict Resolution
Confidence
Respecting Differences
Calming strategies and emotion management
Mindfulness is also used to teach students emotional awareness and to set the tone for a calming and peaceful learning environment. We want all students to feel empowered and to know everyone is an important member of this great Nyack community.
Grief work may be helpful to provide support for students and families to process their grief over what was lost at the end of the school year.
