Reflections
from the Counselor
Welcome to all of our new Mountain View
families and welcome back to all of our returning families! It was so affirming and invigorating to see
so many of you at the Open House on the 15th. I am always impressed with the level of
interest and care that the parents of East Longmeadow have towards their
children’s education. This is a
wonderful place to live and to learn!
As
the Guidance Counselor here, I love working with students and their
families. My job is to help all students
learn to the best of their ability at Mountain View School. Sometimes that means helping students feel
more comfortable socially or emotionally in the classroom. Sometimes it means working with teachers to
resolve disputes between students or to set up plans for boosting a student’s
academic achievement. Sometimes it means
helping parents find ways to work on issues at home with their children or to
feel more connected with the school. In
all capacities, I work closely with students, parents, and teachers. I am available to meet with students
individually, in small groups and on occasion, in the classroom setting
Please
feel free to contact me if you have any concerns about how your child is
adjusting to school as we start the year or if concerns arise as the year
progresses. I am looking forward to a
great year together!
