Rudder Counselor Connection
February/March 2022
Spring is around the corner!
Can you believe that we are already halfway through the schoolyear?! As counselors, our focus this month is to revisit the importance of intrapersonal skills and practice mindfulness with our Rangers. We recognize that our students (and teachers) have a lot they are juggling on their plates this year more than ever. It is important for us all to remember to practice positive and healthy coping skills. We hope you find this edition of our newsletter helpful. We encourage you to practice some of the activities below together with your student each day.
Attention current 7th grade parents:
If your child's last name starts with A - L, your counselor for the remainder of the year will be, Mrs. Katrina DuVal. Ext. 75025.
If your child's last name starts with M - Z, your counselor for the remainder of the year will be, Mrs. Selina Vasquez. Ext. 75026
Stay healthy and happy! Please don't hesitate to reach out to us anytime.
And remember,
#Rangers LEAD!
Mrs. DuVal and Mrs. Vasquez
