Please note, due to shipping delays, Foertmeyer is unable to fulfill Frankenmum orders this year. 

Our fundraising campaign dates:

• September 30 - Your flowers arrive at Wickliffe; pick-up time is from 4:30-7:30 p.m.

For the safety of our students, staff and community, on September 30 mum pick-up will begin at 4:30 p.m. No mum pickup will occur after school nor will students be bringing them home. Anyone who orders mums must once again pick up their order on September 30, from 4:30-7:30 p.m., at Wickliffe. Thank you!

Counseling Team updates:

Thank you for your enthusiastic response to our fall groups. Soon, we'll share the list of new ones being offered starting in November. 

In addition to groups and classroom visits, we also work with children individually. If we can support your child (or family) in any way, please reach out to Dr. Kassoy (fkassoy@uaschools.org).

Food for thought:

The Counseling Team has been reflecting on our visits with individual children and small groups of students since we have returned to school. We have heard and seen the ways this ongoing pandemic has affected them. There are so many things to celebrate, starting with their resilience! And then there are also areas of social and emotional learning (SEL), an integral part of education and human development, that need some extra TLC.

The Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning describes SEL as “the process through which all young people (and adults) acquire and apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to develop healthy identities, manage emotions and achieve personal and collective goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain supportive relationships, and make responsible and caring decisions.”

As this school year unfolds, we would like to partner with each of you to work together to support these areas of growth in developmentally appropriate ways.

Please be on the lookout for tips, strategies, and articles that provide the research to support these ideas. Our hope is that together we can continue to navigate this storm and help our children to thrive.

Until next week,

The Counseling Team 

Felice Kassoy, Sarah Perry, Sarah Moyer, and Megan Montana
