School Counseling Update
October Edition
As we move into October, our classroom counseling lessons are in full swing! This month, students in grades K–4 will build on their self-awareness skills through Zones of Regulation 2, learning how to identify their feelings and choose helpful strategies to return to a focused, calm state.
Our 5th graders will explore positive coping skills to handle stress and everyday challenges resilience-first, while our 6th graders will focus on making safe, responsible habits and healthy choices inside and outside of school.
Parent-teacher conferences are also right around the corner! I will be available during conference times to chat, share resources, or discuss how we can best support your student’s growth and well-being this year. Please feel free to stop by or reach out to schedule a time to meet.
School Counselor Information
I am Megan Utter and I am the school counselor at Prairie Lane and Rockbrook! This is my third year in Westside and my 5th year as an elementary counselor. I help support students in classroom lessons, short-term individual check ins, small groups, and can help families get connected with community resources as well. I'd love to hear from you!
