Thank You, School Counselors!
National School Counselor Week, February 6-11, is set aside to recognize the critical work counselors perform that positively impacts Arizona students. Counselors help students examine their personal strengths, abilities, interests and talents. Students who understand how to plan for their future make better course choices related to their educational and career goals, are more motivated to achieve better grades and take greater responsibility for directing their own educational achievement. Counselors are the connecting link between students, parents, teachers and the school system.

DELIVERING ITEMS TO STUDENTS
DELIVERING MESSAGES, LUNCH, ETC. TO STUDENTS
Students should have all items needed for their school day with them. Learning to be prepared is one of our goals for our students. It is disruptive to have assignments, lunches and sport equipment brought to class. Messages will be limited to those of an emergency nature. While some interruptions are unavoidable, the fewer we have the smoother our classrooms will run. Please make going home arrangements and after school plans before coming to school. To minimize the disruptions no cake or pizza parties are allowed at lunch.
