FROM THE PRINCIPAL...

This week (Feb. 3 - 7) is National School Counseling Week! “School counseling programs help to increase student achievement and provide a much-needed resource for students, parents, teachers and administrators. School counselors are integral to student success.” We are so grateful for Ms. Lisa and all she does for our students, families and staff every day 😊

Please see the information from Massachusetts Partnership for Youth regarding their Parenting Solutions Library: MPY Parenting Solutions Library. Peace At Home Parenting Solutions is a dynamic hub of trusted knowledge and compassionate support that inspires parents to create

positive change for their children, their families and themselves. Through this new partnership, MPY is pleased to offer proven resources to help students’ families thrive. The video trainings are

presented by experts with advanced degrees and present easy-to-use strategies for long-lasting change.
