I so miss seeing and interacting with your children at recess or just in passing during the school day. Even though we are apart, I want to make sure that you know that I am still available to lend extra support when needed. Just as I am available on campus for our students during a normal school day, I am also available for them during this time of distance learning. The avenues of communication just look a little different from that of our usual on-campus interactions.
To help navigate, here are a few ways you and your child can connect with me…
For Students:
Mrs. DeBoer’s Counseling Corner
Students in grades 2-6, can fill out a “Counselor Chat Request” form (found under the “Classwork” heading in my Google Classroom or click on the button below). This form will let me know when a student wants to talk – from friendship problems to sorting out feelings pertaining to any topic. Once I receive a student’s request form, I will send a message to that student through their school email to set up a "Google Meet" time. Note: I will send a message to students in 2nd grade through their parent's email or by phone.
Students in grades TK-1, can fill out a "Counselor Chat Request" form (click on the button below) with the help of their parents. Once I receive a student's request form, I will send a message to their parent's email or by phone to set up a Google Meet time with the child and parent or for a one on one time with the child... whatever the family prefers.
In situations where a student is having difficulty focusing in class, due to distracting thoughts, feelings or situations, teachers are able to contact me right away so that I can be in touch with a student in a matter of minutes through the "Google Meet" link attached to my Google Classroom.

Please reach out to me if there is anything I can do to help this year. This is a very challenging time for all of us, so please know that I am here for our LCE families.
Warmly,
Nancy DeBoer
