Welcome to another
year! It has been great to see so many new and returning students this
year. I know that this school year is going to be a successful one for
everyone!
Recently
I had a fantastic question from a new parent, "So, what exactly
does a school counselor do?" There are several items that I do
as your school counselor.
Here are the top 3.
* 1. Classrooms
in the school receive many lessons from me throughout the school year.
Classroom lesson topics include: friendships, conflict resolution, harassment,
celebrating diversity, decision-making, self-esteem, drug awareness,
and study-skills.
* 2. Student Groups!
I meet with groups of parent-referred students throughout the year.
Group topics include: Friendship, Study-Skills, and Divorce/Family Changes.
Permission slips have gone home in the Wednesday envelopes. If you need
another permission slip just give me a call and I can send one to you.
* 3. I also meet
one on one with students in need. Many times parents with a concern
will call me up and request that I check in with their son or daughter.
No concern you have is too small. If I can help out I will!
Have a great day!
