Message from Your School Counselor
Just wanting to connect during this time. A way to stay healthy is to boost your immune system during fearful or stressful times.
It’s important to have a strong immune system at this time. How do you do that? Here are some ideas:
- Parents, kids will take their clues from you. Notice whether you are experiencing fear, anxiety or stress. Kids pick up on our feelings. Practice shifting your focus from fear to gratitude. Doing this gets your brain out of the fight or flight state.
- Practice empathy. Thinking of another takes the focus off you.
- Share with others what you appreciate about them.
- Laugh with loved ones.
- Spread joy to others.
- Turn off or limit the news. Watch something funny or entertaining.
- Journal. Put your thoughts and feelings on paper or in a journal. Don’t reread unless you are doing a “Gratitude Journal”.
- Set up a daily routine to make life predictable. This soothe our brain.
- Sing a little repetitive song. An example is the one by Allison Davies on YouTube called: Every little cell in my body is happy….. It’s about 3 minutes long.
- Notice and shift your self-talk to be more positive. Our brains don’t know the difference between what we imagine and reality.
- Our thoughts determine our feelings. We can choose our feelings by monitoring our self-talk.
If you have concerns please e-mail me at jcardinale@powayusd.com I will get back to you Monday through Friday in a timely manner.

PUSD 2020-2021 Continuing Student Registration is open now
The online Continuing Student Registration website is open April 1 - April 30, 2020. We must receive a completed digital packet for all returning students. This will allow for proper placement of your student for the 2020-2021 school year. This annual digital process will allow a family to complete one single “family” packet instead of completing one packet per student. Packets can be completed using any computer, tablet or smartphone with an internet connection. If you do not have access to any computing device or internet connection, your student’s school will provide access to complete the packet.

Please notify your current school as soon as possible if you do not plan to return to PUSD for the 2020-2021 school year. Thank you for your attention to this important process.
