Dear Parents,
As this year continues to present us with challenges and uncertainties, your student’s emotional well-being remains a focus of ours in addition to their academic and social success. Thanks to a newly formed partnership with Spalding University School of Professional Psychology, we have available to us a Doctoral Student. Ms. Abby Finta will work with our students individually and in the classroom on Wednesdays under the supervision of Dr. Zack Thieneman. A letter from Ms. Finta describing her intended work at our school is linked below.
In the classroom, Ms. Finta will work in conjunction with the teacher to provide social/emotional support to students through activities addressing things such as mindfulness, conflict management, and appropriate responses to stressors. In addition, Ms. Finta is available to provide one-on-one counseling to students as requested by parents and teachers. In order to provide one-on-one therapy, a consent form must be completed by the student’s parent/guardian. If you would like for your student to receive these one-on-one services, please complete the form and return either a hard copy to the front desk or a digital copy via email to myself. This form as well as a Child Background History form are linked below. The background history information is greatly beneficial to Ms. Finta but not required for her to work with them one-on-one.
We are grateful for the opportunity to add this service for our students. If you have any questions, please reach out.
Warmest regards,
