Hello everyone!
We are excited to share a great new FREE SEL resource for families. The UW-Extension, in partnership with DPI, is launching Raising Caring Kids https://parenting.uwex.edu/raising-caring-kids/ This website provides articles and videos for parents of students in grades 1-5, to teach and support SEL skills at home. The website is great, but these articles can be sent by your school or district, providing a more personal connection to your families. Offering Raising Caring Kids is easy! Sign up using a link on the webpage and they will send you an email with a document listing 18 weeks of emails for families. Copy and paste the weekly email and send to your school or organization email list each week. Repeat for four months — or 18 emails at times that work well for you. The articles and the videos provide parents with activities, books and videos to use with their children to develop and foster social and emotional learning skills at home. It is a great way to authentically invite families to partner with you in implementing social and emotional learning. Hope all is well! Welcome to October! _________________ Elizabeth Cook, Ed.

Juniors will receive text messages about topics like:
High school juniors may join the program by texting PREPARE to 99000. To receive all texts, students should join by April 4. Juniors will receive approximately three texts per month from UW HELP; messages will continue through the summer, and students may opt out at any time. Boost Courses are offered from out BOOST Consortium Schools through our Collaborative Learning Center. The schools included are Pecatonica, Highland, Kickapoo, and Mineral Point. We are able to share courses with each other to help students better complete their course plan and avoid scheduling conflicts or to take courses that are not offered in our High School building.
