Teachers of seniors should email counselors by 3:00pm on Friday, Jan. 13th if a senior has a definite F in their class. ONLY send the names of seniors that are definite failures. We will then check if the class is needed for graduation. Counselors will call home IF it affects graduation status and discuss a credit recovery plan.
A reminder that the teacher issuing the failing grade is responsible for contacting the parent to inform them of the failure.

- How to Manage When Emotions Get Big - Do you know students who get stuck in emotional responses, sometimes leading to meltdowns or dysregulation? Are you feeling stuck with what strategies to use to help them support them in calming down? Emotional regulation is one’s ability to recognize and process emotions as well as one’s ability to manage or balance emotional responses. In this training, participants will receive an overview of the neurological and physiological responses that can be activated when students (and adults!) are experiencing a stress response. We will explore practices and strategies to use to help us all regulate our stress responses and return to a calmer state of being.
- February 2 and 3
- Understanding, Supporting and Teaching Executive Functioning Skills for your Students - The purpose of this training is to help participants identify specific areas of executive functioning deficits in their students and develop the ability to effectively support and teach students who struggle with executive functioning skills. This includes identifying students who struggle with organization, planning, initiation, staying on task, impulse control, emotional regulation and adaptability and resiliency. The educational impact of each of these areas will be explored and discussed. Participants will learn strategies and supports that can be used to address executive functioning challenges as it relates to classroom participation and performance
