Has your family experienced a relational change that has impacted your child? The Changes at Home small group is designed to teach students how to use healthy coping strategies when dealing with a family change at home, such as divorce or separation. This group may help your child connect with other kids who may share similar thoughts and feelings, reflect on their thoughts and feelings and gain tools to help them cope with their emotions in a healthy way.

If you are interested in your child participating in this small group please complete this Google Parent Permission Form or contact the BBE Counselor, Julie Wimberly at 281-641-1607.

Cavities (also known as caries or tooth decay) are the most common chronic disease of childhood in the United States. Untreated cavities can cause pain and infections that may lead to problems with eating, speaking, playing, and learning. Children who have poor oral health often miss more school and receive lower grades than children who don't. Learn how you can protect your child's teeth from cavities with these CDC resources.

Happy Brushing,
