Friendzy Feedback
Do you want to provide your educators with the support and resources they need to effectively help students navigate difficulties, build confidence, build resilience, and learn to become really good friends?
Newman Catholic Schools decided now was the best time to incorporate the Friendzy social and emotional learning program in their school, launching a holistic approach to education that includes social-emotional development.
“School districts are always prepared to teach basic core subjects, such as math, science or reading. But, districts aren’t always as advanced in teaching about other parts of students’ learning: the social side. Newman Catholic is trying to change that.
The district took a hard look at this over the summer and announced it is initiating Friendzy, a new social and emotional learning program, when school starts back up in the fall.”
“This is just the perfect timing for [Friendzy]. Kids need this now,” Ries said. “I think it’s important to understand kids are more glued to their phones than they are their real relationships.”
