The Counseling Connection with Mrs. Walsh
In Guidance class we are studying career and college readiness. Students will learn what a career is and the major factors in choosing a career. Education is continuously being stressed and graduating high school is a must! Students are to be proactive as they get to choose how far they decide to go with their educational pursuit after high school. The sky is the limit. Please challenge your students to give their best every day in school. The higher your expectations, the better results you will see.
Spring is around the corner and now is not the time to “quit” working in school. Parents, please ask your students about their day and help hold them accountable for their schoolwork. Students also perform better when they get a good night’s sleep. Remember bed times are still important. It is also vital to monitor their use of electronic devices to ensure the safety of our children. Remember students must be in their classes by 7:30 a.m. so they are not counted as tardy.
Quote of the month:
The responsible person does his or her best on any task (even homework).
The responsible person completes the whole job, not just part of it.
Your best is the most you can expect of yourself.
Once a task has been started, you must be responsible enough to finish it (even if you don’t want to). Donna B. Forrest
