Dear Ouray Elementary School Community,
As the new school year begins, we work together to make our school community a welcoming place where every student feels like they belong. Throughout the school day, we’ll be reminding students to welcome others and to act and speak in safe, respectful, and responsible ways. Please support your child at home in welcoming others and acting and speaking in safe, respectful, and responsible ways.
This month our school will also begin teaching the Second Step program. The first Second Step lessons teach skills for learning. You’ll be receiving Home Links describing why these skills are important and including fun activities to do with your child to practice them. We hope you enjoy them!
Please tell your child’s teacher if you have questions about specific ways you can help your child with welcoming behaviors and skills for learning at home.
Kind regards,
Jaceson Cole, LCSW
Ouray School Counselor
Second Step Coordinator
