Social Emotional Learning Parent Education Night

Downers Grove Grade School District 58 has partnered with the Downers Grove Area Council of PTAs to offer this event. All area parents are invited to attend. Parents will learn: the five basic SEL skills every child should acquire; what can be done at home to help foster these skills; what schools are doing to promote and develop these skills; and when it may be necessary to seek additional assistance.

Guest speakers will be Mary Ellen Young with the DuPage County Regional Office of Education; clinical psychologist Dr. Jennifer Duff; and Jayne Yudzentis, District 58’s Assistant Superintendent for Personnel and SEL committee chair. Child care is available for a $1 donation to the PTA. A second parent education night is planned for Feb. 15, with grade level Q&A and round table discussions for grades K-12.
