Monthly SEL Schedule

Rhodes recognizes the importance of SEL to support our students’ social and emotional well being to help them succeed academically in a safe and supportive environment. 
This year, SEL will be taught the first Wednesday of scheduled months. On most Wednesdays, there will be an SEL Morning Schedule and SEL topics and activities will be discussed during that time. There will be a planned activity each month that teaches students the importance of SEL. All lessons and materials will be emailed each month. If it is a Family Meeting month, those will take place during 9th period on the SEL Schedule and NOT in the morning.  We will also have a Question of the Day from the Daily Slides that will be read during morning announcements that can spur SEL conversations during Homeroom! To learn more about the Rhodes SEL Family Meeting event, please review the pdf.
