Our school’s vision statement for Social and Emotional Learning:

To ensure high levels of individual learning for all students, Stafford Primary School is a relationship-centered learning community where staff, students and families provide clear expectations for procedures and behavior, build strong connections, create a safe and supportive climate, learn to have compassion and empathy for others, and where every student knows their strengths and has a sense of belonging.

To achieve this vision, we utilize the following SEL related curriculums, resources, and research-based approaches:

Second Step SEL Curriculum (taught by classroom teachers throughout the year)

Second Step Child Protection Unit  (taught each year by the school counselor)

Zones of Regulation

Restorative Practices and Justice
