Mr. Bradshaw and Mrs Nelson will share their thoughts on a variety of subjects but most importantly how we are all living and learning through this extraordinary change in all of our lives
"Are you a Glass Half Empty or Glass Half Full person?"
It's a simple question but not a simple answer. Are you finding the negative in every part of this "crazy" new way of life or are you taking advantage of the opportunity. We are asking both students and our teachers to share videos of their personal lives and what things they are doing to remain positive, energetic, and creative during this momentary change to our everyday lives. Please send your videos to Mrs. Nelson or Mr. Bradshaw ↓↓ by email. Videos must be positive, no longer than 1 minute, and no "shout outs" to friends (we love the idea but are not allowed to do). We miss you and hope to hear from you soon

Anyone who is struggling can reach out to us at 1-877-519-7505 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.

What are the School Counselors' rules of confidentiality?
The School Counselors follow the ethical standard of confidentiality. Confidentiality means that all conversations in the counseling relationship will not leave the counseling office, with a few exceptions. The exceptions to the rule are if the student talks about danger to themselves or to others. Examples of danger include all forms of abuse, as well as suicide threats. These cases will be reported to proper authorities (i.e., parents, school administration, mental health services, social services, potential victims).
