FROM THE SOCIAL WORK AND COUNSELING TEAM
Counting down the days...
This is the final push until the end of the year! We know how hard you have all worked this year and even though you might feel like giving up, we're so close to the finish line. With STAAR testing upon us, just remember to breathe and do your best. End of the year events like tests, dances, and ceremonies can be a combination of excitement and anxiety. If you want to talk or need some quiet space to decompress, you know where to find us!
Keep going, you can do it! We see how capable you are!
