Welcome Back!!!
Counselor's Corner
We are kicking off the New Year with a WOOP in our guidance lessons. WOOP is a scientific strategy that people can use to find and fulfill their wishes and change habits.. http://www.woopmylife.org/
Wish- What is an important wish that you want to accomplish in the next few weeks? (your wish should be challenging but possible)
Outcome- What would be the best outcome if your with came true? How will you feel?
Obstacle-What is the main obstacle inside you that might prevent you from accomplishing your wish? (be careful not to blame others here)
Plan-If/Then plan. If ______________(obstacle) then I will ________________ (effective action)
I have already been very proud of the students I have met with to do a WOOP. They have really made meaningful and thoughtful goals.Notes from FISD
We wanted to inform you that Frisco ISD will not be allowing Hoverboards on Frisco ISD property. Documented fires have occurred in the use of these devices while charging, as well as during use. Other organizations have also banned their use/presence due to fire risk, including many airlines. If students bring a Hoverboard to campus, the parent will be contacted to pick up the device, as it cannot remain on campus due to the possible risk. This includes all makes and models of Hoverboards. As always, the safety of students and staff is our top priority. Thank you in advance for your understanding.
