Counselor's Corner
Welcome to a new school year at Dallas Harris Elementary. It has been a wonderful first few days and I am looking forward to working with you and your child this school year! My role as a school counselor is to promote and implement activities that focus on meeting the needs of all students, whether this be through individual student planning for academic/social/personal/career needs, teaching district counseling curriculum in each classroom, facilitating student groups, and providing consultation, referral, and crisis support services to parents and students.
The transition to school can be a big change for kids. For any students and/or parents who may be feeling some back-to-school anxiety, please read this article. It has some great tips and strategies to ease into the school year!
Learn more about the counseling program at Dallas Harris here, with lots of resources and information for you!
Our amazing psychologist also has a great website with many resources for parents.
I will continue to share resources and information in the Yote Note throughout the year. Look for a welcome letter coming home in the next few weeks with more information about your child’s counseling lessons. I am here to support you and your child, so please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns. It is an honor and joy to partner with you and to work with you and your child this year!
