Hello Primary Family!
We are excited to welcome all of you back for another year!!
This year we will continue our Model Guidance lessons, where we push into the classroom once a month with a fun lesson emphasizing our character word of the month and building on it with a topic based in social emotional learning, building academic skills, or exploring career development.
Throughout the school year we will also have opportunities for students to join small counseling groups, as referred by their teacher or parents/guardians.
We are also able to connect our students and families with counseling or other outside resources as needed.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact us. We are so excited for another fun-filled year here at Hillsboro Primary!!
See you soon!
Mrs. Clute & Mr. Maness
