Student Advocacy

October 2021

Advocacy Note

Hello! We are at the end of our First 9-Weeks.

We will have Red Ribbon - Drug Awareness the last week of October 25-29.

I am completing individual counseling at all four school sites. In these lessons we work on self-advocating, self-regulation, self-awareness, and health/appropriate coping skills.

I have started small counseling group lessons at the Elementary and Intermediate School.

I am completing whole class counseling lessons at the Junior High. Our second lesson was on Careers and Goals.

Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns!

Sleep is very important for growth, development, and emotions! A good night of rest helps students regulate their emotions! Emotions feel so much bigger when one is tired. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommendations for sleep are below.
