Counselor's Corner
Happy December from Ms. Noechel!
This month, our "Word of the Month" is Responsibility. During counseling lessons, we are discussing the importance of doing what is expected of us, doing what we say we’re going to do, and making good choices. We are also talking about how our actions affect others and taking responsibility for those actions.
Here are a few ways you can help foster responsibility in your student(s):
Set Clear Expectations: Establish specific, age-appropriate responsibilities at home, such as making the bed, setting the table, or taking care of personal items. Consistency helps children understand their duties.
Model Responsible Behavior: Children learn by watching adults. Show them how you take responsibility in your daily tasks, whether it's managing your time, fulfilling commitments, or apologizing when you make a mistake.
Encourage Decision-Making: Allow children to make simple choices, like what clothes to wear or what to pack for lunch. This helps them practice making decisions and understanding the consequences of their actions.
Teach Accountability: Help your child understand the importance of owning up to mistakes and learning from them. Encouraging honesty and self-reflection fosters personal responsibility.
By creating an environment where responsibility is both encouraged and modeled, parents can help their children develop the skills needed to be responsible individuals.
Together, we can help students build strong character and make responsible choices every day!

We empower kids to S.H.I.N.E !!
The mission of Stagecoach Elementary is "We empower kids to SHINE." The faculty and staff believe in this mission and we want our students to believe they can SHINE in all they do!
S.H.I.N.E is an acronym that stands for:
Succeed...We will help our students succeed in all they do!
Hope... We will teach our students to have a positive, hopeful outlook!
Improve... We will work hard every day to help students grow and improve!
Navigate... We will teach students the social-emotional skills to navigate through life!
Engage... We will engage students in meaningful, relevant learning every day!
Stagecoach Student Affirmations
An affirmation is a positive statement that can help to challenge and overcome a person’s negative thoughts. When frequently repeated, they can become ingrained in our children’s minds, bodies, and hearts. Our students will begin to believe these attributes about themselves, and positive changes can happen. Self-esteem grows, kids are more confident, they work harder, and are more successful at school, home and the community.
This year, Stagecoach will be using the same five affirmation statements that we used last year. These statements can be found outside at our car and bus parking lots; they are posted on our school walls and students will hear them throughout the day. You can also say and repeat these affirmations with your student(s) as you bring them to and from school, as you’re having dinner, if your child is having a rough morning, or really anytime!
