Hey Everyone,

We have gotten to know each other a little better, and will now begin to take part in other activities that will help us be better students, get along better, accept others, cooperate, and practice self-control, as well as some other character traits.  In November we will be completing the career booklets for the 5th graders.  They really like discussing their personal traits and how those may lead to an exciting career in the future.  The other grades will also be looking at careers/occupations/jobs and strengths and interests that they have to begin to think about "what they want to be when they grow up."  So, it will all be exciting and enlightening.  Please be sure to ask your child what they are doing in guidance classes from time to time.   Thanks for all your support.

 My guidance class rules are:

 1.  Show everyone respect.

 2.  Raise your hand to speak.

 3.  Have fun and learn! 

 Call if I may assist you in any way!
