Dear Parents/Guardians,
As a part of our school
counseling program, I work with students in a small group setting, as the need
arises. Sometimes students need help
making friends, adjusting to school, learning how to resolve conflicts,
learning how to express anger appropriately, etc. They may also need a little help adjusting to
family situations such as the birth of a new sibling, the recent marriage of
one of their parents, divorce, new step-sisters/brothers, death of a family
member, etc. Sometimes these adjustments
are difficult for children and may affect their school performance. As the school counselor, I work with children
to help them be successful at school. I believe that all children benefit from
getting to know other students in a small group setting. Also, many children
will feel more comfortable getting to know me in a non-threatening environment.
This will help them should they ever have a serious problem and need to see me
on a regular basis. If you agree to allow your child to participate in the
small group, please sign the permission form and return it to the classroom
teacher. If you wish to talk with me
about your child or the sessions, please feel free to call me at 398-0500.
Sincerely,
Cyndi Barnett
School Counselor
