School Counseling Week is a timely reminder of the quiet, essential work happening in our schools every day.
This week, we recognize and thank our school counselors for the critical role they play in supporting students’ academic growth, social-emotional well-being, and future planning. Counselors are often the first to notice when a student is struggling—and the steady presence that helps them navigate challenges both inside and outside the classroom.
From individual student support and crisis response to academic advising and career guidance, your work matters more than most people realize—and it truly changes lives.
If you see a school counselor today, take a moment to thank them.
Thank you to our school counselors for your compassion, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to students. Our schools are stronger because of you.

This month, our school behavior focus is No Hands November! Students will be working on keeping their hands to themselves in all areas of the school—classrooms, hallways, playgrounds, and buses. By practicing personal space and self-control, we can make our school a safe and respectful place for everyone. Let’s make November a month of kind words and helping hands that stay to ourselves!
