Important Note to Parents and Caregivers!

The work of school counselors benefits students by helping them maintain connections to their families, friends/classmates, school and community.

During Covid-19, a number of our students struggle to maintain these connections and need our help to do so during these unprecedented times.

Because we know that many/most students do not openly share their feelings with adults, it is important that we (parents/caregivers and school) routinely check in with our children to see how they are doing. Starting this practice at a young age may help as children become older.

Please consider putting the following information in your home so you can access it in an emergency.
