Keene Mill students and families enjoyed a beautiful day of physical fitness and friendship at the Pyramid Challenge. Thanks to everyone who came out to participate and support.


SEL Screener

Social and Emotional Learning Screener Results Coming Soon

Students in grades 3-12 took the Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) Screener in October, providing information on skills such as achieving goals, understanding and managing emotions, establishing and maintaining relationships, and making responsible decisions. The screener also asks students if their school community makes them feel valued, included, and supported.

In early December, individual student SEL Screener results will be available to families in the Documents section of SIS ParentVUE. For families who do not have an active ParentVUE account, results will be sent via postal mail.

Please review the Family Guide or reach out to your child’s school for help in understanding your child’s results or ideas on how to support them at home.
