National School Counseling Week is celebrated nationwide this week, February 5-9.
School counselors are an integral part of the day in every school across our district. One of the most important things school counselors do is help students succeed in school and plan their careers. With the aid of a school counselor, students learn to develop effective collaboration and cooperation skills, to practice perseverance, to develop time management and study skills, and to learn self-motivation and self-direction habits.
Help us celebrate our school counselors this week!
