In an effort to share resources with our community, the Counseling Department has added a 'Wellness' tab to its new website. This website includes links to 'Find a Local Therapist' along with suggested informational websites on resilience, substance abuse, and mental health.
Two links recently added include the following:

- Adolescent Health: Think, Act, Grow® (TAG) is a national call to action for organizations and individuals to prioritize activities that improve the health of America's 42 million adolescents. You can make a difference by taking action - check out these resources to learn more about the recommended action steps and resources.
We invite you to view our new website and continue to check-in with your students at home on their well-being!

As practitioners, we are constantly reading and learning to stay abreast of trends and ensure that we are using best practices. Much of what we read is not education-centric and may be of interest to all. During our last Parent Roundtable, we discussed highlights of recent texts and how our practices both personal and professional have been influenced.
Below are a few of my latest reads, as well as my team's current reads. Enjoy!
Kimberly H. Premoli

Student ID Policy
School Safety and Security Plan
As part of our safety and security plan, we are implementing a policy such that all students must wear an ID at all times. IDs should be worn around the neck and visible. By requiring all staff, students, and visitors have some identification on them at all times; we can better ensure that the people in our building, should be in our building. We ask that all parents and guardians help us in this safety measure by ensuring that your student has his/her ID on them each day.
If your student has not received his/her ID, please have them see Ms. Leathers in the Front Office.
Please note that if a student loses his/her ID, it will cost $5 to replace the ID and if a student loses their ID and lanyard, it will cost $10 to replace all items.
