SEL Screener

Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) believes in supporting social and emotional learning (SEL) for all students. In FCPS, students use a tool called the SEL Screener to think about their own SEL skills and experiences at school.  Keene Mill students in grades 3-6 will be participating in the Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Screener in the Fall and Spring.   Our fall window at Keene Mill will run from October 14-October 21 (to include make ups).

After each screening, results are available in the Documents tab of SIS ParentVUE and mailed to families without a ParentVUE account. For more information about the SEL screener, you may visit the Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Screener webpage.

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to Sandi Yost, Counselor at Keene Mill.
