As part of the school counseling program, we will be seeing your student’s class once a month to teach about topics such as social skills, conflict resolution, handling bullies, healthy lifestyles, personal safety, and study skills. Each grade level is introduced to the topics appropriate to their developmental needs. There will also be an opportunity for some small groups and “lunch bunch” for meeting new students or addressing short term student issues.
Parent conferences and consultations are an important part of our job. If you have specific concerns about your child which may impact their school success, please contact us. We do not answer the phone when I am with a student or classes, so please leave a voicemail.
We are excited about the new school year and all the possibilities that lie ahead. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help! Please turn the sheet over for more information about our counseling services.
Your School Counselors,
Ashley Hawkins and Mitchell Furtkamp
