Dealing with Stress
Focusing on managing stress in a positive way is a necessary skill - especially in high school. We feel this is particularly important especially in these unprecedented times!
Summer School is currently scheduled to begin on June 1. But now that the schools will remain closed until at least June 19, we will implement a virtual alternative to summer school, including credit-recovery options for high school students. Stay tuned for more details soon. If you need to sign up still, the document below can be filled out and returned to your counselor.
