Thank You, School Counselors!
National School Counselor Week, February 6-11, is set aside to recognize the critical work counselors perform that positively impacts Arizona students. Counselors help students examine their personal strengths, abilities, interests and talents. Students who understand how to plan for their future make better course choices related to their educational and career goals, are more motivated to achieve better grades and take greater responsibility for directing their own educational achievement. Counselors are the connecting link between students, parents, teachers and the school system.

A Note from the Nurse
Parents, lice is in our community. Please check your children for lice and treat as needed. When treating your child, treat their backpack as well, as this is one way that lice is being spread. Because lice seem to like to be "shared" among friends, it is important to let the nurse know if your child is being treated. If you have any questions at all please contact Nurse Corley at (480) 484-4411.
