This week is National School Counseling Week (#NSCW24)! This is a great time to recognize our school counselors and highlight their tremendous impact on helping our students achieve school success and plan for their future.
Thank you, school counselors, for actively helping students examine their abilities, strengths, interests and talents. Thank you for partnering with parents and teachers to help students realize their potential and set healthy, realistic and optimistic aspirations for themselves. School counselors are an integral part of our schools and district. Thank you for all that you do!
