Keeping up with your Cougar Counselors
We are thrilled to be a campus that was selected to pilot the CharacterStrong advisory curriculum! CharacterStrong's "curricula and trainings are focused on fostering the Whole Child with vertically-aligned lessons that teach SEL and character, side-by-side." This curriculum will become available in our advisory lessons this month.
In addition to assisting students and teachers on campus, the counselors have been hard at work managing student learning location changes resulting in updating schedules for those changes. In August, we had the privilege of providing staff development on
Social Emotional Learning in the classroom.

Our Comprehensive Counseling Services
A comprehensive school counseling program is an integral component of our mission.
Comprehensive school counseling programs are driven by student data and based on the Texas Model for Comprehensive School Counseling Program guidelines.
For classroom guidance, counselors visit classrooms multiple times per year to deliver lessons based on the Great 8 skills. Each nine weeks we are focusing on a different Great 8 Skill.

September 2020: Daily actions to help you be kinder to yourself (as well as others)
What is mindfulness?
Mindfulness is the basic human ability to be fully present, aware of where we are and what we’re doing, and not overly reactive or overwhelmed by what’s going on around us.
While mindfulness is something we all naturally possess, it’s more readily available to us when we practice on a daily basis.
