Dear Families,
Parent teacher conferences are coming up quickly on Thursday, November 14th and Thursday, November 21st from 4:30-8:00 pm respectively. We look forward to having you sign up for a 15 minute time slot on one of the above dates. There is a link below in the newsletter to sign up to meet with your child’s classroom teacher. The home-school connection is critical to supporting the development of the whole child. I also encourage you to look ahead to our November PTO meeting (Monday, Nov. 11th @6:30pm) as this is another great way to get involved in our school community. The PTO hosted and ran our Panther Prowl Fun Run this past Friday and our upcoming Fall Dance (10/18) and the Book Fair (11/11-11/15). They are always looking for feedback, new ideas and more hands to make light of the work of supporting our school community!

REMINDER: ON-SITE CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY ASSOCIATES CLINICS
As we begin a new school year, our core value of well-being remains a priority as we work to serve students and families in our community. Our Student Services staff, composed of our school psychologists, counselors, social workers, nurses, and other specialized staff, continue to promote positive mental health by providing comprehensive support to our students. In addition, we want to remind you of the onsite partnership we have with Clinical Psychology Associates (CPA). CPA has established counseling clinics with a team of five therapists working at Franklin High School, Forest Park Middle School, Pleasant View Elementary, and Country Dale Elementary. All students and families within our district have access to these services.
Clinical Psychology Associates also has an outpatient location in Oak Creek, providing another convenient way for families to receive therapeutic services if an off-site location is preferred, while still benefiting from the collaborative partnership with the district. For more information please see our website. Appointments are scheduled directly with CPA staff by calling or texting (262) 251-1112.
