Principal e-Note

As the cold weather continues, we want to remind everyone that we will go outside for recess as long as the windchill is 20°F or above. Please make sure your child comes to school dressed warmly, with appropriate winter gear, including coats, hats, and gloves.

Additionally, we’ve noticed a growing number of lost items in our Lost & Found. To help ensure your child’s belongings make it back home, kindly label all winter clothing with their name.

Lindbergh Schools will administer the Social, Academic, Emotional, Behavior Risk Screener (SAEBRS) survey two times this year. The upcoming screening window begins on Feb. 24..

This building-wide social-emotional learning (SEL) screening survey serves two purposes:

1. SEL Screening helps the district to evaluate the effectiveness of district-level mental health and social and emotional programming.

2. SEL screening identifies areas of strengths and needs for individual students in grades K-12.

More about the SAEBRS SEL Screening Survey:

There are two components to the K-5 SAEBRS survey:

1. Teacher observation risk-rating scale (referred to as SAEBRS)

2. Student-rater screening survey (referred to as mySAEBRS).

SAEBRS is a 19-item rating scale completed by the classroom teacher and based on teacher observations. It is used to help monitor student strengths and areas of concern. This will be completed by all teachers in grades K-5.

mySAEBRS is a 20-item student-rater screening tool. Students respond to computer-based questions aligned to social, academic, and emotional behaviors. This will be administered only in grades 3-5.

Both SAEBRS and mySAEBRS screen for strengths and areas of concern aligned to the following domains:

• Social Development: Students’ ability to understand social norms, empathize, and understand the perspectives of others.

• Academic Development: Skills necessary for students to be prepared for, participate in and benefit from academic instruction.

• Emotional Development: Students’ ability to regulate internal states, adapt to change and respond to stressful or challenging events.

This document includes sample screening questions on the mySAEBRS and SAEBRS screening surveys.
