Dear Page Families,
1. We celebrated our very own School Counselors - February 3rd - 7th during National School Counseling Week!! The theme was "School Counseling: Helping Students Thrive." At Page Mr. Lee and Ms. Palmer support students develop social-emotional skills, assist families, teach SEL lessons, and much more. At Page we celebrate our counselor by having classes and students write "thank you" cards, letters and decorated their doors. If you did not get a chance to thank Mr. Lee or Ms. Palmer it is not too late to let them know how much you appreciate them.
2. Immersion Lottery admissions process - February 3rd - April 11th, 2025.
