SKATE PARTY

Liz Spiker, our Concord Prevention Counselor, is offering a Worry Warriors group for the fall. Several grade level groups will be offered based on interest. This group is a free service and will occur once a week during the school day for 6 weeks.

If your student has worries they can't let go of, experiences stomach aches or headaches with no physical illness, struggles to sleep at night due to worried thoughts, or experiences worry in other ways, Worry Warriors is an opportunity for your student to build strategies for understanding and coping with their worries effectively.

During our group time, students can talk about specific worries and how to tell when they're worried. We will learn and practice different ways to handle worry, including talking to a trusted adult, using positive self-talk, focusing on what we can control and more.

Please indicate your interest by completing this form by Monday, October 2. Liz Spiker will reach out to ensure this group will be the best fit for your student and to update you on the schedule.

For questions, Liz can be reached at 614-269-4747 or spikere@gjps.org.

We are starting to hit the time of year where illness sets in. Just a reminder....

"If the child is vomiting, has diarrhea or has a temperature of 100 degrees F or greater, the child must stay home from school until they are fever-free, vomit free or diarrhea free (without the use of medication) for 24 hours."
