Counselor's Corner
We will miss Mrs. Stokes as she takes on a new adventure, and we made sure to give her a great send-off today!
During this transitional time, the "Counseling Request Form" (linked here) will be directed to the other four counselors in the district. It is located in the grade-level google classroom for all our students and can be found on our website. Our counseling team wants to make this transition as seamless as possible. They will be available throughout the day for our students, and if you have any questions, you can always reach out to them as well.
Here are their email addresses:
