October

I can't believe the 1st quarter is almost complete! I believe everyone is finally back into the school routine. My goal as the school counselor is to get to know all of the students in grades K-8. I will present lessons in all of the classrooms every 3-5 weeks based on grade level. Topics I cover when I go into the classrooms includes: managing emotions, stress, problem solving, communication, assertiveness, kindness/empathy, friendship, study skills, careers and many more. I also conduct small groups on targeted topics throughout the year. Most small groups last 6-8 week and will occur during lunch/recess or a non-instructional time that works for the teacher. I also will meet with students regarding any issues they may want to meet about even if it's just a fun lunch. If you hear your student is meeting with the counselor there's a good chance that I'm just checking in or saying hello.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns throughout the year. I'm here to help!

 

Grief can be a hard experience for children. If your child is going through a tough loss there are greif support groups in the area. Promedica hospice offeres one in the area the third Wednesday of every month - click here for more information.
