Spring Counseling Update
March 2020
Happy, healthy day to you all! We hope everyone is well.
As we navigate through the new normal, and continue to Keep Calm with concerns, we look for the silver lining in it all. It is in times like these that we see the best in people through their actions and words. You need to be your BEST self by taking good care mentally, academically, emotionally, and physically.
With this New normal comes a New way to learn and grow. This is a wonderful opportunity for students to set a schedule for the day, connect to Google Classroom, and LEARN some new things at your own pace.
The biggest challenge for online learners is the self-discipline and self-motivation to access their online lessons and complete the tasks in a timely manner. Parents and students need to create a daily schedule involving course completion, mindfulness time, lunch, and self-enrichment.
Parents we suggest that you check Genesis on a daily basis, and set up FaceTime as a touch point throughout day with your child. Feel free to contact the Guidance Department with any questions or concerns regarding your child’s academic performance. Marking Period 3 will be ending in April.
You will be able to contact Ms. DiLuzio regarding your needs Monday through Friday
