Dear Kindergarten Families:
I’ve had the pleasure of meeting with your child’s class over the past few weeks and I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself to those of you who are new to our school. My name is Jennifer Banner and I am the School Counselor at Towne Acres Elementary School.
As part of our school counseling program, a guidance lesson will be presented to your child’s class twice a week. Our lessons will focus on topics such as respect, responsibility, trustworthiness, goal setting, making safe decisions, career exploration and being a good citizen. We will be using the book 7 Habits of Happy Kids by Sean Covey as a guiding theme this school year. Throughout the school year, I will send information home about the topics we discuss.
In addition to classroom guidance, individual and small group counseling services are also available to students as needs arise. Individual counseling may be requested by parents, teachers, or the students themselves. All school counseling services are provided with strict adherence to the highest legal and ethical standards. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me anytime by phone or email at [email protected] .
Please let me know how I can help make your child's school year a successful one!
