November 1, 2021Our district's social emotional learning concept of the month is gratitude. Although November is the month that many in our society intentionally emphasize thankfulness, developing a mindset of gratitude requires regular practice all year long.
The staff of SHSD are grateful for our community and students every single day. It is an honor to get to know each of your children as individuals and to be a part of their educational journey. Too often, special education has traditionally viewed students from a deficit mindset, with a focus on what students aren't able to do as a way to categorize them and plan for services accordingly. Although this approach is necessary to determine eligibility for special education services, it is important for all of us who love and work with students to remember that students are not defined by their difficulties with learning. Each student has unique strengths and talents that they contribute to their learning community, and the variability among learners helps everyone learn more.Thank you for sharing your wonderful and diverse learners with us!--
