It's finally here, the first day of school! Have you noticed the red carpet our students walk on to get into school the first day? Our Student Council ensures this fun tradition is in place each year. I think that is one of my favorite things about Pembroke Hill, the faculty is not alone in their preparations for the school year. Our students and families are just as involved. I hope that you find that sense of community in our middle school this year as well. We are a team, on an important 3 year journey. It is an honor for us to be a part of this transformative time in your child's life.
I thought it would be appropriate for my first blog entry this year to give you a sneak peek into the ways the counseling and Advisory programs will be supporting you and your child over the next 9+ months. To do that, I'd ask that you look over the following two documents:
Counseling Program Overview 2015-2016 Here you can see an outline of what is planned each month in Wellness and Advisory, as well as other relevant activities. This plan is created to be flexible. The flexibility is necessary as we schedule outside speakers to visit our school, work around the needs of teacher curriculum, address the needs of our students, etc. The weekly blog entries will provide updates to the plan, as well as follow up information after the events.
Advisory Goals and Priorities This document highlights the larger picture of this year's Advisory program, giving you some insight as to how we work to support each student through their time with their advisor.
If you look over this information and find yourself with unanswered questions, please feel free to contact me via email or phone (816-936-1200).
I hope your commute home is filled with fun stories from the first day. However, just in case your teen gives you only, "It was fine," I have added a few pictures below to help fill in the gaps!
