The Social Skills Improvement System Brief + Mental Health Scales (SSIS SEL screener) is a short screener that is completed by a student (grades 3-12), or their teacher (grades K-2). The screener takes between 5 and 8 minutes to complete. The focus of the scales is a student’s social emotional learning (SEL) (including self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision making) and emotional behavioral concern (internalizing and externalizing). The purpose of this online screener is to identify areas of strength and emotional behavioral concerns in students. This will help inform teachers and school leaders in planning Social Emotional Learning (SEL) instructional and programmatic support for students. The screener will take place on Wednesday, October 9, at the beginning of first hour.

Josten's has an online order form to use after pictures have been taken: jostenspix.com Please use event code FE72724 when placing your order online. All students should have their picture taken in order to be in the yearbook and to receive a student ID. An additional picture day will take place on Tuesday, October 1 (7:30-11:00 am), for students needing retakes or if they did not take their photo in August. On October 1 we will call students down alphabetically. Students and staff are encouraged to have their picture taken regardless if they plan to order. We will print a student & staff ID for the 2024-2025 school year with the new photo. Note that you will need to have your student’s lunch pin to access their pictures and place an order if you choose. A student lunch pin may be found in Skyward/Family Access. If you have questions please contact Kari Hartwig at khartwig@northfieldschools.org.

This referendum will address these problems because the proposal is Safe, Smart, and Sustainable. Go to our website to get additional information regarding the bond referendum.
