Guidance
Happy Winter! I would like to take a moment to share a brief update from the counseling office and offer a few reminders to support your child’s social and emotional well-being.
Winter can be an exciting time for students, but it can also bring changes in routines, increased energy indoors, and sometimes big feelings. During classroom lessons, we are focusing on skills such as managing emotions, showing kindness, problem-solving, and using coping strategies when things feel challenging.
You can support your child at home by:
- Encouraging open conversations about feelings and school experiences
- Helping your child practice calming strategies such as deep breathing or taking breaks
- Maintaining consistent routines when possible, especially around sleep
Please remember that I am available to support students individually as needed. If you have concerns about your child’s social, emotional, or academic well-being, feel free to reach out. Collaboration between home and school is key to helping our students thrive.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support. I wish you and your family a warm, safe, and joyful winter season!
Warm regards,
Jamie Wade, LCPC
