Parents, if your family is experiencing a family transition (i.e. divorce, blended family, separation), your child can join our Family Change groups. The deadline to sign up is this upcoming Friday, September 23rd. These groups are a great way for your child to feel connected to others and less alone in their experience, as well as develop coping skills or simply process the changes that are occurring in his or her life. Please contact me if you have any questions about the groups.

We have had a great start to the school year! I've been busy in the counseling department as I conducted New Student groups to welcome all of our new students in 1st-5th grades, and also visited each classroom in K-5th grades for introduction lessons. During the introduction lesson I welcome students back to school, discuss why someone might need to see the school counselor, and remind them how they can come see me.
After completing introduction lessons, I began the academic unit in the classrooms. Students are exploring and practicing skills for success in the school - focusing, active/whole body listening, and following directions. We are also talking about how practicing these skills can make them a leader in their classroom. It's fun to be a part of these discussions across the grade levels and I enjoy visiting all of the classes! |
