I hope you and your family enjoyed time together over the summer and are ready for a new school year! I am so excited to see all the returning and new students.
Here’s what on the horizon for Crozet School Counseling:
o Classroom lessons: I will be in 3rd, 4th, & 5th grade classrooms each week during the first quarter. I will get to see Kinders regularly throughout the year. Watch this page for news about classroom lessons.
o Thank you to the CRES PTO for the Second Step curriculum for Kindergarten! Second Step is a research based program designed to teach students the skills they need to be successful in school.
o Individuals & groups: When students are having difficulty being present and available for the learning, I work alongside teachers and parents to support their students. Please let me know if you have particular concerns.
o School wide programs:
o Awareness days & weeks: Each month the School Climate Committee will sponsor a week to spotlight an aspect of community building at CRES. Our 1st will be the “Crozet C.A.R.E.S. Kickoff,” the week of September 9th.Look for more information about this and other special days and weeks in your Tuesday folders.
o C.A.R.E.S stands for Cooperation, Assertion, Respect, Empathy, & Self-Control, the character traits emphasized in the Responsive Classroom approach used at CRES.
o Crozet Connections: WAHS mentors work with CRES students once a week January-April.
o Assistance to those in need: If your family is in a place where you need a little help, let me know. There are several opportunities during the year for getting help with food, clothes, etc. Just about every opportunity has a deadline. I want to make sure that you know so you don’t miss out.
o Remind App: The best way to hear about opportunities & deadlines is to send me an email with your name & cell phone number so I can add you to the Caring/Sharing group in the Remind app.
o Thanksgiving & Toylift: Unless there are some major changes I don’t know about, I can say now that the Thanksgiving and Toy Lift deadlines will be November 1st. I will post google forms on the school counseling page.
