Parents, please read below!
Brock Families,
I hope you all had a fantastic weekend enjoying this great weather and celebrating your mothers, aunts, grandmothers, mentors, and role models. I know our Brock Tigers are working hard each day and I hope also taking time to spend special moments with those around them. As the week kicks off, if you find you need help, assistance, or someone to talk to, please reach out!
Happy Mothers Day!
My Mother Kept a Garden
My Mother kept a garden,
a garden of the heart,
She planted all the good things
that gave my life it’s start.
She turned me to the sunshine
and encouraged me to dream,
Fostering and nurturing
the seeds of self-esteem…
And when the winds and rain came,
she protected me enough-
But not too much because she knew
I’d need to stand up strong and tough.
Her constant good example
always taught me right from wrong-
Markers for my pathway
that will last a lifetime long.
I am my Mother’s garden.
I am her legacy-
And I hope today she feels the love
reflected back from me

Brock Elementary School Counseling Mission
The Brock Elementary School counseling program provides child-centered, developmental, and preventive services that promote students' academic, social/emotional, and college/career readiness, at each stage of their development. Brock Elementary believes when children are provided a safe and nurturing environment they reach their highest potential.
Brock Elementary School Counseling Vision
The Brock Elementary counseling program seeks to maximize the holistic development of students in an atmosphere that recognizes and nurtures the uniqueness of the individual. The school counselor shall assume shared responsibility for the academic, career, social/emotional development of all students. School counselors provide a safe non-judgmental place for students to express feelings. Comprehensive guidance programs enhance students' interpersonal and intrapersonal sense of worth. School counselors encourage students to become independent thinkers, goal setters, life-long learners, and a caring member of their community.
