Southside Region 8
August 2015
Welcome Back
Welcome Back Region 8!! I hope everyone has had a great summer break. We are back in the swing of things and my hope is that this bi-monthly newsletter will help you stay abreast of what is happening in our area and with our organization. The Virginia School Counselor Association (VSCA) has dramatically transformed over the years to profoundly serve our profession; School Counseling. I hope the spark that called us all to seek this profession still can be found in your day-to-day work, and I hope that you are able to take advantage of the great opportunities that VSCA will bring to the table this year. I will continue to strive, as your Region 8 representative, to make it known that the need could not be higher, and that the call could not be greater for Advocacy and for Professional Development opportunities in our rural region. Please let me know what you are in need of as we all strive to make the 2015-2016 school year a great one!
Stay Informed & Connected
It is good to stay informed and connected with your colleagues. Elementary and middle school counselors will have access to a blog that will be coming soon. The blogs will be directed by school counselors and VSCA board members working at those levels. High school counselors in Region 8 will continue to have secondary level meetings...more information and details to come.
See below all of the many ways you can stay in-the-know within our profession at the local, state, and at the national level:
