Counselor’s Corner, June 2026
As the school year comes to a close, I want to share what a pleasure it has been working in the counselor role this year. It has truly been a privilege to work with such a caring school community and to watch our students grow socially and emotionally throughout the year. In the fall, we will welcome back Ms. Chloe Shaw in the school counselor role, and I will return to my support role in the intermediate grades. Thank you for a wonderful year, and I wish everyone a safe and relaxing summer!
