A special thanks to Mr. Brown, Mrs. Wiesemes, Mr. Bacolor, Mr. Catania, and Mr. Leonard for their support along the way!

From the Guidance Department
As we enter into our 7th week of learning at home, we’d like to take a moment to
thank you parents & families for ALL your hard work and support!
We know that this has not been easy and we truly appreciate all of the time and effort you are putting in to help your student(s) stay connected and involved - we couldn’t do it without you!
As Jack Johnson sings, we are “Better Together”!
We hope that May is off to a good start for you and you are finding some balance during this “new normal”. We know that being a caregiver/parent is hard under normal circumstances and appreciate the added stress we are all experiencing right now makes it even more challenging.
With that in mind, please check out the “parent trapped” podcast in our google site
Covid-19, Guidance & SEL - it’s full of real world tips & stories for these challenging times.
We also added some links in the app section with daily uplifting & short videos.
And remember to join us this month as we are
