Social Emotional Learning at Carver:
Second Step Lesson Review

This week, we are wrapping up our Second Step lessons for the year by reviewing the important skills and concepts students have learned. Throughout the year, students have built their social-emotional skills by practicing empathy, emotion management, problem-solving, and responsible decision-making. We are proud of their growth and encourage families to continue reinforcing these skills at home.

If you have questions or need support, please do not hesitate to contact a school administrator by calling the school (919) 365-2680 or sending an email to Ms. Wenitra Merritt, Principal wcmerritt@wcpss.net and/or Mrs. Ashley Crouse, Assistant Principal acrouse@wcpss.net.

Thank you,
Wenitra Merritt, Proud CES Principal
