Guidance Department Newsletter
Here's what's on deck from the Guidance Office in the month of October:
- Mr. Pritchard has started his senior conference meetings. Please look for a pass in your first period class to know when to come down for your meeting. The schedule will be posted in Mrs. Horne, Mrs. Dufel, Mr. Baker, Mr. Kent, and Ms. Wasserstrom's classrooms. Parents interested in attending their students' senior conference meeting should call the guidance office to set up an appointment.
- Miss DiDomenico and Mr. Pritchard will be going into the classrooms of their respective grade levels to do social-emotional lessons.
- Since we missed "National Suicide Prevention Week" in September, we will be having activities around suicide prevention this month.
- October is "National Bully Prevention Month" look for SPARRK activities in lunch.
