August/September Newsletter
Greetings Mighty Ducks! My name is Dia Thao, your child’s school counselor, and I wanted to take this opportunity to welcome you all whether you are new or returning to Dartmouth! We are glad to have you here! I hope you all enjoyed your summer break. First of all I wanted to share with you a little bit about what I do here at Dartmouth. I go into classrooms every other week to teach all students guidance lessons following the RISD counseling curriculum. I work with groups and individual students with identified needs like grief, anxiety, friendships, self-esteem, homework and many others. I also help our 6th grade students transition to junior high school. I coordinate all MTSS/RtI meetings and Section 504. I coordinate and plan Red Ribbon Week, College Week, career day, Kindness Week and Peer Mediators in training. Our peer mediators are trained to assist their peers solve personal disagreements. I also help out in other areas as needed throughout the school year. I look forward to working with your student this school year. As always please feel free to contact me for any questions or concerns.
