Month of May 2025
Happy last full month of the school year, Cougar families! As summer approaches, please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need any resources or supplies for the upcoming months.
In May, our counseling lessons will focus on mental health awareness, career awareness, career exploration, transitioning to the next grade level, and reflecting on what we’ve accomplished over the past school year.
This month, our 8th graders will be going on their history trip and preparing for graduation! We encourage you to come out and support our 8th graders as they prepare for their next journey: high school.
While we explore career development, please ask your student(s) about their interests and where they see themselves in ten years. We will be discussing the character traits that make someone a good employee, as well as the qualities that define effective leaders and co-workers in the workplace.
In the middle school, we will also be exploring job interviews and how to conduct ourselves during the application and interview process. We will practice mock job interviews to help students develop essential interviewing skills. May also marks Mental Health Awareness Month! In the middle school, we will be covering topics on anxiety and depression. In K-5th we will be revisiting the topic of worries and how to manage our worries in a healthy way.
Note: If you want to sign your student up for counseling sessions, please fill out a counseling referral form or speak with your student's teacher. Please note that school counseling is typically short-term; I schedule students for 6-8 weeks. (Which will lead us up to the end of the school year). Don't hesitate to reach out if you need support or resources.
