Urey Counseling Corner

We did it, Falcons! 🎉 The first quarter is in the books. Whether these nine weeks felt like a breeze or a climb, you showed up, learned new things, and grew stronger. That matters.

To our students:
You’ve been building habits, navigating friendships, and figuring out what works for you. Celebrate the wins—big and small. Missed a goal? That’s feedback, not failure. Let’s reset together:

• Routines: Aim for consistent sleep, a simple homework plan, and a quick backpack check each night.

• Belonging: Say hi to someone new, BE AN UPSTANDER, and be the reason someone else feels included.

• Asking for help: Strong students ask for help until they understand or get what they need! Your teachers, counselor, and staff are in your corner.

To our families:
Thank you for partnering with us. Your encouragement, car rides, check-ins, and calendar juggling make a real difference. As we start Quarter 2, here are some ideas to help the next 9 weeks be even better:

• 2-Minute Check-In: “High/Low/Help”—What was the high of your day? The low? Where do you need help?

• Planner Peek: Get your student into the habit of using a paper or electronic planner. Once per week, glance at due dates and upcoming tests together.

• Screens & Sleep: Guard a 30–60 minute wind-down before bed to get better sleep and help with focus and energy at school each day.

Always here for you!!

I love to go in the classrooms and teach lessons and our kids did a great job coming up with ideas to keep bullying out of Urey. Students created posters for the school and a unity chain to remind us of our mission to STAY STRONG AND STAY CONNECTED!!
