The Serene Scoop
Serene Hills Elementary School --- April 20, 2020
As Dr. Lancaster shared last week, I will be joining the staff of Hudson Bend Middle School as their principal in the fall. I am excited for this opportunity and will still have the pleasure of supporting many of our same students in the years to come. I have loved the last four years at Serene Hills and am blessed to have been a part of this amazing school family. There are countless joys and memories that will go with me.
There are many questions swirling with the closure through the end of the year. I will let you know as I gain direction on such things such as picking up belongings, pictures and yearbooks. I do recognize the need for closure and the emotions behind not getting to say goodbye.
Thank you for your patience and your partnerships. Even though we are all working remotely, my team and I are here for anything you may need. Please do not hesitate to reach out.
Thank you,
Julie

Greetings from your School Counselor,
These are unprecedented times, and although we may be physically apart, school counselors are still available to support our students and families. Please know that our focus and priority is on the well-being of your students. There are many stressors facing families today - from illness to career stress to the loneliness of social distancing. In the depths of it all, please know that you are not alone. We are in this together as a school family, and our staff is ready to offer guidance and support.
When stress and anxiety run high, utilize one of these resources to practice mindfulness.
