    What it is

    The Gray’s Woods Social Skills Club is designed to help children identified with emotional difficulties or autism spectrum disorder (those working with Miss Hackman) gain meaningful social connections and provide real life educational experiences.  Students will participate in a variety of large  and small group  activities designed to foster appropriate social interactions and coping skills. 

     

    Who it is for

    Students on the caseload of the autistic and emotional support teacher are automatically invited to participate.  Students that are not accessing special education services can be included if the administrator thinks it appropriate and parent permission is obtained.

     
    When do we meet?
    Gray's Woods Social Club currently meets once a month on Thursdays or Fridays from 1:45-2:40 in Miss Hackman's classroom.  Students will miss any instruction occurring in their regular classroom during this time.  Any homework assigned during Club time will be at the discretion of the regular education teacher.
     
     

    Rules and guidelines

    • Students are expected to follow the same rules given to them in their classrooms and the rest of the school building.
    • Students will treat adults, classmates, and property with respect.
    • Students will say positive, and encouraging things to others and make people feel good on the inside
    • Students are to keep each other safe on the outside

     Due to safety concerns, students with extreme behaviors and/or requiring physical restraint at any point during the month will not be permitted to participate in Social Club for that month.  Parents will be notified if this is the case.
