Sleep - your memory depends on it!!
Thank you for the awesome turnout for the first half of our 2018-2019 Speaker Series. We will be back January 24th for "Positive Discipline: Parenting Your Teen With Confidence!" In the mean time please feel free to look over old presentations or listen to them as podcasts! Be sure to scroll the Speaker Series section for additional presentations and free learning opportunities in our community covering topics like effective communication, teen depression, supporting your child through ADHD, and the gifts of diversity! |
Student Support Counseling is available at any time during the school day. We are able to help and support students with whatever issues they may be facing. For some students they may want to talk and others just may need a quiet, safe place to go. Others, may have concerns about someone they know. Either way we are available.
If the issue is something more than what we can handle here at school, we can connect families to those needed resources. We also want to encourage the collaboration with any outside agency you may be working with. We have the students for the majority of their day so working together as a team will be most beneficial and effective for the student!
