Catapult Social Emotional Classes

Feast of St. Scholastica - February 10th  


Dear Parents of Students in Grades K-8

Beginning Tuesday February 9, 2021 students will be participating in Social Emotional Learning lessons provided by Catapult.

Due to the COVID-19 these classes have been deemed essential. They will be conducted in the classroom for both the in-person and remote students in grades K-8.

They will be conducted every other Tuesday for 45 minutes.

Please read the permission slip below and feel free to reach out to Mr. Woods at olqm1@aol.com if you have questions.

Dear Parents/ Guardian,

Your child will be participating in classroom guidance lessons provided by a Catapult Learning school counselor. The goal of classroom guidance is to deliver information to large groups of students, that will help them learn about themselves, interact in a positive manner with peers, and develop skills to succeed in their academic environment.  

Topics can include areas such as mindfulness, responsibility, self-control, coping skills, and resolving conflicts.

If you do not wish for your child to participate in these lessons, please sign below and return to school by  Thursday February 4, 2021.

 I DO NOT wish for my child to participate in the classroom guidance lessons.
