School Counseling Update
October Edition
Welcome to October!
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!
