Dear Secondary School Families:   

Today we are wrapping up National School Counselors Week. This is a recognition of the vital role that school counselors perform in schools to support social-emotional growth, college and career readiness and student achievement. We are very fortunate to have four incredible counselors in our district!

 

For more information about this week and the role of a school counselor, please see the attached flier.
