August Monthly Calendar

Welcome back to a new school year! This month, students will be getting to know me, their school counselor, and learning how counseling can help them feel supported and successful at school. Our focus for August is “Your Team for Success!”

Students will learn about the importance of acceptance, respect, and support as they build positive relationships with classmates and adults at school. We will also talk about making good choices, taking responsibility for our actions, practicing self-control, and making decisions that help us be successful.

As we begin the year, students will identify the people who can be part of their team for success—including trusted adults, teachers, counselors, family members, and friends. We will discuss how positive and supportive relationships can help us learn, grow, and overcome challenges.

We encourage you to continue the conversation at home by asking your child: “Who is on your team for success?” and “What can you do to help make our school a welcoming and supportive place for everyone?

“Every day is a new opportunity to learn, grow, and be part of the team! Starting the school year with good attendance helps you build strong routines and sets you up for success.”

Family Tip: Help your child start the year strong by creating a consistent bedtime and morning routine. Arriving at school on time each day helps students feel prepared, connected, and ready to learn!

Help your child start the school year with healthy routines by encouraging them to eat a nutritious breakfast, drink plenty of water, get enough sleep, and move their bodies each day. Small healthy choices can make a big difference in helping kids feel ready to learn!
