Hello ACS families! I am so excited to be joining ACS this year as a part of the elementary school counseling team. As an ACS alum, it is incredibly meaningful to return to the community that had such a positive impact on my life. After working in other schools across Jordan, I am grateful for the opportunity to support students and families here at ACS. I am deeply passionate about working with children and helping them grow emotionally and socially. Thank you to all the parents for your trust— I am really looking forward to a wonderful school year ahead!
Dear Families,
Dear Families,
Welcome back to what is sure to be a wonderful school year full of learning at ACS, and an extra special welcome to our new families! I am the Counselor for KG, 2nd and 4th grades. I also consult with EYP, along with our other ES Counselor, Hayley Jeanes.
Our comprehensive school counseling program is designed to teach specific skills and provide learning opportunities in a proactive, preventative way that ensures all students can experience school success. I am excited to get to know each student this year as we start our guidance lessons by exploring our individual and collective character strengths. We can create healthier communities, when we take the time to honor and celebrate our unique personal character strengths, and all that comes along with them.
Once in every 8-day cycle I will spend a period in each of the KG, 2nd and 4th grade classrooms teaching our school counseling curriculum. Lesson topics include friendship skills, empathy development, problem solving, emotion management, personal identities and personal safety. In addition, I work with students one-on-one and in small groups as needed. Watch for emails with more information throughout the year about our exciting learning.
I am available to meet with you or your child to discuss any concerns. I primarily provide short-term, solution-focused counseling interventions for issues that impact students at school. If your child needs additional support or services, I can provide a referral to an appropriate community resource.
My office is located on the ground floor, next to the KG classrooms. Please feel free to introduce yourself and let me know if I can ever be of support to you or your child.
Kind regards,
Nadine Samara
