It is really our pleasure to serve the ELM family in the capacity of Counselors. As the school Counselors, we are available to help you and your child have a successful school year. We will work with students, parents, and teachers in a variety of ways, which are designed to provide students with the opportunity to learn and develop social, emotional, and academic skills for reaching their highest potential. Some of these ways are:ÃÂSmall group meetings with studentsÃÂIndividual conferences with studentsÃÂConsultations and conferences with students, parents, and teachersÃÂIndividual and group meetings with parentsRemember, whatever you talk about with the Counselors is confidential. Students are free to make an appointment or may be referred by a parent or teacher.
You can look forward to our monthly contribution in the ÃÂEagle Eyre.ÃÂ This month, we will be focusing on how to make Homework less work; which is a challenge for some of our students.
First, make sure you understand the assignment. Write it down in your agenda or daily planner, and donÃÂt be afraid to ask questions about whatÃÂs expected. ItÃÂs much easier to take a minute to ask the teacher during or after class than to worry or turn in wrong or incomplete work.
Second, use any extra time you have in school to work on your homework. ItÃÂs tempting to hang out with friends during study periods, but the more work you can get done in school; the less youÃÂll have to do that night.
Third, if you donÃÂt finish your homework during school, think about how much you have left and what else is going on that day, and then budget your time. ItÃÂs a good idea to come up with some kind of homework schedule, especially if you are involved in After School Activities.
Watch Where You...
