… The theme of this year's national
School Psychology Awareness Week is
“Find Your Focus.” Our school psychologists along with other LHS staff work with students every day to help them find their focus — to identify their
strengths and interests, develop persistence, see ideas and situations more clearly, and attend to important information in academic and social settings.
Families can do the same!
Here are some ways to help your student find their focus at home.
