Finished Unit 3

Dear TMS Family,

We want your child to be successful in school, and that means supporting and encouraging their whole development. While excelling in academic classes is important, students also need skills for learning challenges, making good decisions, handling strong emotions, and getting along with others.

Last week, we finished our Second Steps Unit 3: Thoughts, Emotions, and Decisions. Our students learned how to recognize strong emotions and unhelpful thoughts, and apply strategies to manage their emotions and reduce stress.

After Spring Break we will start Unit 4: Managing Relationships and Social Conflict. During this unit our Students will learn strategies for developing and maintaining healthy relationships, perspective-taking, and dealing with conflict.

If you have any questions about Second Step® Middle School, please don’t hesitate to contact me for more information. Thank you for your support as we work to build a safe and supportive school community.

Sincerely,

Cliff Hackman

Tipton Middle School Families,

In order to keep families engaged throughout the year Tipton Middle School will send out weekly Social Emotional Learning updates to reinforce learning at home. These weekly communications will have a summary of the Second Steps lesson topic and a question that caregivers can use to engage their child in discussions. If at any time you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
