Congratulations to all the supporters of the fabulous Fall Extravaganza!
I learned this afternoon of the passing of Dr. Roger Weissberg, a towering figure in the field of social and emotional learning (SEL) and someone I considered a mentor and friend. I am so very sad – sadder than I fear I have any right to be given how many others knew him so much more personally than I did. But then again, that is a quality Roger had – the ability to make you feel so special and important in his life, even though he had hundreds of people like you in his orbit.
While going back to school in person might be nerve-racking and/or exciting it's important to know you're not alone. Going back to school in person after so much time and change is the perfect opportunity to begin what I like to call our “new normal.”
A colleague recently shared this article about unconditional positive regard written by Alex Shevrin Venet. In it, she talks about the stance she takes with her students being “I care about you. You have value. You don’t have to do anything to prove it to me, and nothing’s going to change my mind.” That is a game changing-attitude.

Young children in the City of Rochester and surrounding region now have access to free developmental checks, or screenings, that can help families better understand their child’s strengths and possible needs for healthy development. Only 20 to 30% of children with health, behavioral, and development problems are identified and receive appropriate interventions prior to entering school.
Get Ready to GROW (GROW) screenings help you get a holistic view of a child’s developmental progress to help identify specific and actionable steps to get them back on THEIR track. GROW helps families see past struggles and obstacles - to discover an opportunity to let their child’s greatness grow.
