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, many students struggled 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 parents, caregivers, and school supports routinely check in with children to see how they are doing. Starting this practice at a young age help children learn the importance of identifying and talking about feelings.
