From our Assistant Principals:
Counselor's Column from Ms. Bockholt
During classroom guidance lessons, I have been talking with the children about feelings and facial expressions. I have worked with them on “deep breathing," ”counting to 10 frontwards and backwards,” and” talking it out” with the person who has made them feel angry; the students know to ask for a “calm down” place to go. A great discussion with your child is to talk about a time when they felt confused, worried, or sad. Listening to them express their feelings is a great way to learn more about your child. Specifically, we focused on: confused, sad, hungry, happy, worried, sleepy, and surprised.
Please don’t hesitate to communicate with me if your child/student is needing someone else to talk to. I can be reached at 512.268-8502.
Ms. Bockholt, Counselor

Our 7 Mindsets Featuring: Passion First
The Passion First mindset teaches us that we are all unique expressions of human existence. It’s vital to find out what our individual strengths and talents are so that we might connect them with our goals and visions for the future. In this mindset, we work with students to understand their unique gifts, their skills and strengths, and how to share them with the world to the maximum extent possible. Not only will they explore their interests, they will begin to identify their core values and what they stand for. The next step is helping them learn how to make their dreams into reality, tapping into both the courage and perseverance needed to overcome any challenges they encounter in pursuit of the lives they desire.
