Counselor's Corner
I don't need to go into all that people have lost over this past year. I do, however, think it's very important for YOU to go into it and honor what you've lost. It is also important to remember that grief does not care about what type of loss it is that you're mourning. In order for us to completely move forward in our grief, we have to acknowledge where we are in that process.
I'm speaking right now mainly to you, students. We see you struggling this year. We know you have been the ones who have sacrificed so much, and yet we still expect you to produce at the pre-pandemic level. We understand how hard it is to go from being in the building from 5 days a week to 2, while the other three days are left for you to accomplish the work on your own. The learning curve for online learning has been extremely steep, and while there are many students who have gotten into the rhythm of this temporary situation, we do still have other students who still need guidance in order to successfully complete the year. My message to you is very simple. Please keep going! Use your resources, talk to your teachers, and make a plan to finish this year stronger than we were last year. We are in this together, and together we will get through it!
