School Counseling Services
Counselors are essential educators and mental health professionals in the school system. We are growing graduates by teaching educational, career, personal, and social development at all ages!
Personalized Counseling continues for students! Remember, this year we are meeting with each student through individual meetings. We have met with the majority of students in grades 1-5. If we have not met with your child, yet, we will soon! This is a special time for students to tell us about themselves, their strengths, and their goals for the future.
We have enjoyed getting to know your children, their strengths, and future plans!

No Place for Hate
For our No Place for Hate activity during the third quarter, students read a book, Say Something by Peter Reynolds, which explores the many ways that a single voice can make a difference. Each of us, each and every day, have the chance to say something: with our actions, our words and our voices. There are so many ways to tell the world who you are... what you are thinking... and what you believe. And how you'll make it better. At the end of the lesson, students were given the opportunity to draw a picture or write a positive message about their self, the Earth or others inside a quote bubble. We wanted to share a few messages with you from Ms. Woods Kindergarten class.
"You're on my team"
"Move Onward"
"Be nice"
"I can do it!"
Attention 5th Grade Parents
