About Our Newsletters
Students and their parents receive a monthly newsletter with information on improving their Social-Emotional Wellbeing, Highlights on their different Advisory Sessions, as well as where they can get access to pertinent topics that are yet to be covered during Advisory. Much of the content is consolidating the information that they have received during Advisory, as well as touching on other Well-Being aspects of life.
Every edition of the Newsletter comes with a message to enhance their Social-Emotional Wellbeing, Career Guidance about different careers, a different Study Skill or Time Management Technique with graphic organizers and worksheets that students can download and use, as well as other pertinent topics that assist students with their holistic experience at school.
