Social Emotional Learning in APS
Newsletter #1, May 2019
Hello! My name is Jen Cutler and I am the Director of K-12 School Counseling & Social Emotional Learning (SEL) for the Ashland School District. I will be sharing a newsletter focused on social emotional learning with the goal of providing all families with an understanding of how the district is implementing SEL and ways that you can integrate SEL in the home and community settings.
Please look for the second newsletter to kick off our school year in September 2019.
