Counseling Assistance
We are winding down the final week of a school year that I don’t think any of us could have ever imagined! Pat yourself on the back: we will make it!
This week’s video link is very short, but I thought might be helpful as we have gone through a season of change, and may not be done with changes yet! This link will take you to hear Conscious Discipline’s Master Instructor, Amy Speidel share many quick, helpful tips on responding to conflict during these times.
This link is to a great flyer you may want to print out and have this summer for a resource. It contains information on body, mental health and internet safety for your family along with resources for immediate needs. Finally, just a reminder for those who want to donate to our summer meals program for students in need, you may find that information here. Thanks in advance if you donate!
You can click here to see that information and also information for families facing unemployment can be found here.
I have weekly Social Emotional Learning activities and lessons on my Canvas page that I hope you are able to visit them with your student. Please let me know if there is anything that your student or family needs as we approach summer vacation. You can email me at: astock@ccs.k12.in.us. Wishing you well!
