Counselors' Corner
Every marking period, we try to highlight some aspect of the Code of Conduct or component of anti-bullying programming. These messages are delivered as grade level town meetings or classroom lessons. This marking period we presented classroom lessons about the power of language. We discussed inappropriate language that demeans others related to racial, ethnic, religious, or homophobic terms and our expectations related to this in the school environment.
Please be sure to refer to the Superintendent’s Newsletter where Mrs. Drennan described the counselling program and provided links for you to complete a survey. We appreciate your input and suggestions! Here is the link: https://www.smore.com/q8by0
