Counselor's Corner
SCHOOL SUCCESS: Parents working together with school staff, administration, and counselors is a partnership for your child that is an important component to their success. If at any time during the school year you believe your child is struggling academically, socially/emotionally, or with issues that affect or change the quality of their daily school life, please do not hesitate to contact me for assistance. I will be happy to help you find a resolution or to ask our principal, Mrs. Dwyer, to intervene.
