MAP Test Back Up plan
A Message from the Harmony School Counselors
1) We recognize stress and fatigue can be high during this time of distance learning. If you feel like you might be in need of mental health services for either you or your child, please visit the Harmony Unified Mental Health team webpage at https://www.lcps.org/Page/234514. You can also watch our brief video and visit our virtual calm down room for ideas to de-stress.
2) Please see the following link in order to register your student for the Step Up Loudoun Youth Competition http://www.loudounyouth.org/programs/step-up/. This competition empowers students to make meaningful contributions to their community and to the world around them by identifying an issue in their community, creating a plan that addresses the situation, and then implementing that plan. There are prizes for winners and the possibility for national recognition of leadership!
3) Lastly, if your 8th grader is interested in the Academies of Loudoun, the admissions portal is now open until October 23rd, at noon. If your child is interested, please contact Mrs. Pierson or Mr. Pecoraro for additional resources at christy.pierson@lcps.org or Bryan.Pecoraro@lcps.org.
Thank you!
