Mental Health Screening In
an effort to promote the health and well being of students in Methuen Public Schools, students will be periodically provided with questionnaires,
surveys, and screeners that address issues related to mental health.
The information gained will support the school’s ability to provide
comprehensive and timely support for your son or daughter if they
require any assistance. Students can opt-out of filling out any
questionnaire, survey, or screener that they are not interested in
taking and you can opt-out your son or daughter at any time by
contacting the Guidance Office of your son's/daughter's school or filling out the
opt-out form here. A list of the questionnaires, surveys, and screeners is available below for you to review.
We are committed to ensuring your son or daughter is supported academically, socially, and emotionally, and we look forward to partnering with each of you toward achieving this goal. Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) What is Social and Emotional Learning? Social and emotional learning (SEL) is the process through which children and adults acquire and effectively apply the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.
