The counselor teaches lessons every other week in the classroom. This space is used to share what students are learning the first half and the last half of the month in counseling class. You can check out the counseling calendar here to see what days your student has counselor. You are encouraged to talk to students about what they learned and how they can apply that learning at school and at home.

FIRST AND SECOND HALF OF MONTH

K - 5th Grades

Students will be discussing what conflict is and learning strategies to solve problems with other people.

This year, this portion of the counseling newsletter will be devoted to suggesting ways to spend time with your children. Some research indicates that JUST 10 minutes a day OR 30 minutes a week of time free from electronic and other distractions and dedicated to your children can improve behavior, confidence and self-worth. Give it a try and experience the results!
