Counselor Corner
Thank you to all teachers who helped their kids take their mySAEBRS. We met with over 100 students based on their answers and have found many to help as a result of our conversations with them. So far, we have referred 8 students to therapy, a couple students we want to see individually, and more than 30 students that will benefit from being in a counseling group!
We will be starting lots of groups in January. Be on the lookout for Tardy groups, friendship/self-esteem groups, and grief groups (this would include students missing parents in prison or just because they don't get to see a parent).
Have an amazing Winter break and get lots of rest and relaxation!!!!

The Mexican Consulate as well as Andi Fourlis visited on Wednesday to drop off some books from Mexico that are typically used in schools all over their country. If you would like some for your classroom or think you have a parent that may like some - please let Martina know! 📚
Our January AVID Strategy of the month is Socratic Methods
To the right here ➡I have included a link to a google folder that I made that has some helpful resources about Socratic Methods. If you google Socratic Seminar or Philosophical Chairs you'll also find many great resources. One of the best resources is also to log onto MyAVID.org - each of you has an account, if you need help with accessing that Renee Geyer can help you. Once in My AVID go to Core Strategies you'll find different strategies and the resources in the "Learn More" buttons.
I super appreciated how engaged and thoughtful teachers were on Wednesday afternoon during our Success Criteria Professional Learning. There are books that we have on campus that can support your continued learning in this area - please just ask Audrey or myself and we can check one out to you!!!
