Counselor's Corner
Hello Central Emerson Families and Happy Holidays!
As part of our jobs as school counselors, each year we run a series of small groups for 6-8 weeks that help teach social/emotional and behavioral skills to students. The groups will start in January and will be held once a week for 30 minutes. This year, we plan to run the following small groups:
- Friendship Group (How to be a good friend, make a friend, values to look for in a friend, how to solve conflicts with friends)
- Social Thinking/Social Skills Group (How to think about others and the thoughts they get about us based on our behavior, perspective taking, appropriate/expected social skills)
- Expected Behaviors for Learning Group (Expected behavior for school such as following directions, being part of a group, "whole body" listening, focusing on schoolwork)
- Feeling Identification/Coping Skills Group (How to pay attention to our bodies/sensations to notice and name our feelings, using coping skills to self-regulate)
- Grief Group (Learning what grief is and the grief cycle, helps support students knowing they're not alone and other experience grief at times too, coping skills)
- Family Changes Group (Learning what divorce/separation/family change is and how it's not the student's fault and that others experience it too, coping skills)
Please reach out to us if you have questions about small groups or would like your child to participate in a group. The groups are made by grade level and are generally made of anywhere from 2-5 students.
Thank you,
Crystal Williams

Winter Weather
As we head into winter, a reminder regarding school closures, delayed starts and limited transportation (snow) routes and schedules. If inclement weather conditions occur, the district office will decide whether to:
- Hold school (regular hours)
- Hold school (delayed start) - All schools will start two hours late
- Close school

Why does attendance even matter?
- Starting in kindergarten, too many absences can cause children to fall behind in school.
- Missing 10% can make it harder to learn to read.
- Students can still fall behind if they miss just a day or two every few weeks.
- Being late to school may lead to poor attendance.
- Absences can affect the whole classroom if the teacher has to slow down learning to help catch children up.

Food Bank Donation: THE FOOD DRIVE IS IN FULL SWING! FILL UP THOSE CRATES! The PTA wants to give back to our community this holiday season with a food donation drive. We have partnered with the Snohomish Food Bank to make this happen. The Food Drive will run from December 1 to 15. Each class will have a crate to fill for the food bank. The class that collects the greatest number of items will win a class doughnut party from the PTA. There will be one winning class at Central and one winning class at Emerson. Start collecting today!
Here is a list of most needed items from the Snohomish Food Bank: Canned frosting for cakes, Apple Sauce, Canned Pasta Sauce, Jell-O, Canned fruit- peaches, pears or mandarin oranges, Peanut Butter, Jelly, Cornbread Muffin Mix, Boxes of tea, Canned dog or cat food, Baby wipes, Soups- Cream of mushroom, vegetable, chicken noodle or tomato, and Canned Vegetables. They will also accept monetary donations- cash or check made out to the Snohomish Food Bank with name and address in an envelope. This will ensure they will send you a card stating they received the donation and follow up with a tax letter in January. $1 will equal 1 item in our competition. Just a reminder no expired food or opened items. They will have to throw them away.
Thank you so much from the Snohomish Food Bank and the PTA!
