National School Counseling Week – February 7-11!
National School Counseling Week 2022 (#NSCW22) is Feb. 7-11, 2022, to focus public attention on the unique contribution of school counselors within U.S. school systems. National School Counseling Week, sponsored by ASCA, highlights the tremendous impact school counselors can have in helping students achieve school success and plan for a career. National School Counseling Week is always celebrated the first full week in February. During this week, the school counselor educates others on their role and advocates for the position of the School Counselor in the building. At Tiffany Ridge, the counselor- Ms. Andes- teaches classroom lessons in each classroom to help students learn social-emotional skills such as empathy, self-regulation and problem-solving. She uses parent and teacher referrals and other data to create small groups of students who need extra practice using these skills. She also works 1:1 with students who need more individualized or mental health support. If you would like more information about the role of the School Counselor at Tiffany Ridge, please look at the graphic below or contact Ms. Andes directly at andesl@parkhill.k12.mo.us.
