October SEL Focus: Respectful

At Saklan, social-emotional learning is woven into every part of the student experience. Each month, we highlight a theme that helps our community grow stronger together. For October, our focus is on being respectful.

Throughout the month, students will be exploring what it means to be respectful and practicing strategies for showing respect both at school and at home. Respect isn’t just about good manners—it’s about recognizing the value in others and being intentional with our words and actions.

Here are some of the key ways our students are learning to practice respect:

• Treat others the way they want to be treated.
• Remember that all people are important.
• Listen when others are talking.
• Look for kind ways to say things.
• Be aware of how your words and actions make others feel.

By focusing on these everyday actions, our students are building skills that strengthen relationships, foster empathy, and create a culture of kindness—both in the classroom and beyond.
