Counselor's Corner: January Updates

This topic is to empower the students and families who hear things from students to speak up and report suspicious behaviors and statements made by others. If you or your child sees something, or hears of something that you know is ethically and morally incorrect, please report this to the STOPit! App that can be downloaded on any device.

Caregivers of 5th graders - Please check your email for a message from Fannin MS provided by the district for you to select 6th grade classes with the student. The course selection form will close at the end of January so there is a deadline. I can provide a paper copy upon request. Please email me if you need a paper copy at the email provided at the end of this newsletter.
