Wildcat Counseling Corner
March 2022
Counselor Message
We can't believe just how fast this second semester is going. We have enjoyed being in the classrooms with the students and we can't help to think just how incredibly lucky we are to work with all of our wildcats daily. We look forward to all the wonderful things we have in the upcoming months. As always, we thank you for your continued support.

What's Happening In Guidance?
During the month of February we had some wonderful discussions on topics such as kindness, diversity, and inclusion.
During the month of March, we will continue classroom lessons focusing on conflict resolution, respect, and accepting who we are.
While discussing conflict resolution, we are practicing using I-statements in order to communicate effectively and respectfully within all relationships. The more students practice this skill, the easier it is for them to use in moments where they are having big emotions. Below is an example of an I-statement and a link with more information about the importance of this type of communication skill. Please practice using this at home to help develop all of our students into strong communicators!
Middle School Transition
Middle school transition is a very exciting time for our fifth graders! They are about to close one chapter of their educational career and embark on a new one. This transition brings on excitement as well as many questions. That is why our feeder middle school hosts their annual 6th grade transition camp.
Students zoned for Bernal will be given transition camp info soon. I am waiting for the Bernal M.S. counselors to share that information with me, so that I can share that with our students. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you might have. I appreciate your support!
