SOCIAL/EMOTIONAL NEEDS
Middle school can be rough due to the changes you are going through in changing from a child to and adolescent. Don't add to this stress by getting involved with drama or taking on other people's problems. Focus on yourself, your success, and seek help from an adult (like a counselor) if you feel there is an issue that is just too much for you to handle. We are here to help you work through these and support you when navigating through middle school.
As Mr. Liendo says, "Your job is to come to school and learn. Our job is to help and teach you. If we both do our jobs, then we can't lose." Take that advice and start focusing on what you are here for - to get an education and excel in your extra-curricular activities.
