News from Student Services

Chris Parker, our school social worker, came to our classroom this week to introduce herself, and get to know our class. The message below will inform you of a social lunch bunch that will be starting this week.  


Beginning the week of October 19th, all 1st graders will have the opportunity to participate in a "Lunch Bunch" with our school social worker, Chris Parker. She will be having lunch with small groups of students (up to 6 children) each Wednesday in the Student Services classroom. The purpose of these Lunch Bunches is for the students to meet other 1st graders, to have the opportunity to check-in about their day, and to get to know Chris as another resource and trusted adult in the building. Chris will be meeting the children on the playground, helping them get their lunches and walking upstairs together for the group, which will last approximately 30 minutes. The kids will return to their classrooms at the regular time, after the lunch period. If you have any questions, feel free to call Chris at 225-8232.


Also, her and Suzanne Francke, our school guidance councelor are reaching out to families this year and will be hosting a parent coffee hour. See the message below for more info!
