NEW: School Counseling Assignments
Thank you so much for being patient with us during our busy scheduling season at the start of semester 2 when we faced challenges of staffing and health concerns.
Please help us welcome two new additions to help fill the spots of two of our counselors who are on leave:
Mrs. Nyssa Bowen will be assigned Dr. Amand's alphabet caseload of Di-Ki until her return.
Ms. Ashleigh Turner will be assigned Mrs. Yolanda Wright's alphabet caseload of Kl-P until her return.
Students: click here to request an appointment with your counselor.
Parents: email your student's counselor for an appointment request.
Mental Health Moment: Grief + Loss
All of us will experience grief at some point in time in our lives, and maybe some of us have experienced it most recently with the devastation from the pandemic. While grief and death are unavoidable, we can learn different ways to cope with our intense grief feelings in healthy ways.
Students Needed! Coping with Covid Small Group
This small group will be called "Coping with Covid – Trails to Wellness" and will focus on topics such as:
• Learning the benefits of gratitude
• Learning relaxation strategies
• Managing worried thoughts
• Fostering social connection
• Mindfulness/ self-compassion
• And More!
Interested students, please fill out this form.
