💚 May is Mental Health Awareness Month 💚
Taking care of your mind is just as important as taking care of your body. Let’s work together to build healthy habits, support one another, and ask for help when we need it.Â
the final countdown: finishing the year with purpose and pride!
Can you believe it? We have officially entered the final stretch of the school year. While the finish line is in sight, these last few weeks are often the busiest, most rewarding, and—let’s be honest—the fastest-moving days on the calendar.
As we gear up for the grand finale, here is a look at what’s on the horizon and how we can all work together to finish strong.
The next few days are packed with milestones that honor the hard work our students and staff have put in since August:
Testing & Academic Growth: Our students are currently showing off everything they’ve learned. It’s their time to shine and see their progress in black and white these next few weeks with STAAR testing and the last round of MAP GROWTH testing.
Awards & Recognitions: We’ll be hosting various ceremonies to celebrate academic excellence, character, and extracurricular achievements. Keep an eye on the calendar for specific dates including our Annual Senior Walk, celebrating the Class of 2026.
Every Day Counts
It is easy to catch "summer fever" when the weather warms up, but the next days are some of the most critical for learning. To ensure every student ends the year on a high note, we need to focus on three key pillars:
Consistent Attendance: Every day missed is a missed opportunity for closure, final projects, and saying goodbye to friends and teachers.
Staying on Task: We’re asking students to keep their "game faces" on. High expectations remain in place until the final bell rings.
Finishing Strong: Whether it’s a final essay or a math unit, we want our students to take pride in their work right up to the last page.
A Note to Our Families
Thank you for your incredible support throughout this journey. The next few days can feel like a blur, so we encourage you to stay tuned to our social media and newsletters for updates on events and schedules.
Let’s make these final days memorable, productive, and full of joy. We’re almost there—let’s finish strong!
Mission Statement
The Coyote Counseling Department is committed to fostering a community of lifelong learners.
In collaboration with parents, teachers, administrators, and the broader community, our school counselors support students in achieving growth across all areas—academic, personal, social, and emotional.Â
The Texas Model for Comprehensive School Counseling Programs is an integral part of each student's total educational program. It is developmental and systematic in nature and vital to the achievement in education for all students. Comprehensive school counseling programs organize resources to meet the priority needs of all students through four delivery service components:Â
Guidance Curriculum, Individual Planning, Responsive Services, and System Support.
The Four Components of a Comprehensive School Counseling Program
Guidance Curriculum
Throughout the school year, counselors focus on delivering the guidance curriculum with the purpose to help all students develop transferable skills relative to their educational, career, personal, and social and emotional development.
 The four strategic curricular content areas are Intrapersonal Effectiveness, Interpersonal Effectiveness, Post-Secondary Planning and Career Readiness, and Personal Health and Safety.Â
Topics for delivery may include helping students develop a positive self-concept, effective conflict resolution skills, motivation to succeed in personal endeavors, and the demonstration of resiliency and coping skills.Â
Individual Planning
The purpose of individual planning is to guide all students as they learn to plan, monitor, and manage their own goals.Â
Efforts are consistently made to meet with students individually or in groups using a variety of resources to assist students in developing and implementing personalized plans.Â
Various considerations are made during the individual planning process to ensure inclusivity of all students regarding multi-cultural consideration, special populations, multiple intelligences, and academic implications with regards to specialized circumstances and/or services.Â
Responsive Services
The purpose of responsive services is to support all students in their time of need and intervene on behalf of those whose immediate circumstances or concerns interfere with their daily functioning.Â
All students are provided equitable access to school counseling services with the purpose of providing preventative or remedial services for the development of foundational skills.Â
At times, these services may elevate to crisis services that could involve specific protocols that include district policies and procedures as well as state law.
System Support
The purpose of system support is to identify and coordinate resources and activities on campus and in the community that indirectly benefit students.Â
System support, the foundation of the school counseling program assists with identifying the various needs of the students and campus through consultation with school staff and interpretation of data.Â
In collaboration with parents, teachers, administrators, and the community, Counselors are able to advocate for student needs and plan and implement programs that benefit all students throughout the school year.Â
