Counselor’s Corner
By Mr. Wojcicki
I am serving as the counselor for all three elementary schools this year. Because of dividing time between the buildings, a primary focus for my time in each, has been chosen.
At Pine St. I am assisting teachers with a new way to service at risk children called Response to Intervention. This process is a very standardized, meticulous approach to assessing children’s performance and behavior and then choosing interventions to assist them. The concept is very similar to how our district has always operated, but the change comes in how the process is monitored and the amount of paper trail needed. The latter is where I hope to be of most as­sistance to the Pine St. staff.
The VIP program, at Pathfinder, will continue to be my primary focus. In VIP class, I teach lessons about life skills relating to our Six Pillars of being a person of character. This enables me to impact all students and be of assistance to the Pathfinder staff in their quest to help children develop the notion of making decisions based on the question, “what’s the right thing for me to do?”
At Daisy Brook, my main focus is to work with children who need or ask for my help in making sense of things. I use the term “things” very generally, referring to most anything that may be occurring in their life that is confusing them or causing stress, frustration, sadness, anger etc…This age of child can often express themselves verbally and have the abil­ity to take in feedback and use it to their benefit.
Did You Know?
*The Church of The Nazarene is a local provider of Angel Food Ministries. This food program, open to all, provides $75 worth of food for $25!!! What a great way to stretch your dollar! Call 924-3024 for more information.
*I will be offering Rollercoasters classes, after school, beginning in late October. Students in second through fifth grade are eligible for this class. The class is directed towards children experiencing a family change. The change is most often a di­vorce, but children who have had a parent lose a job, or have experienced a death in the family, have also participated in this class. The curriculum teaches the children how to cope with their situation. If you would like some more information regarding this opportunity, please call me at 924-7265.
*A lending library of Love and Logic parenting information is available at Pathfinder. Many books, tapes and CD’s are avail­able for checkout. Check with me if you’re interested. Loveandlogic.com is a great website for parents to use as a re­source.
*This past summer approximately 75 children attended summer camp through the FACF partnership with Camp Henry. FACF provides scholarships to schools to reduce the cost of camp for students whose families may have a difficult time paying the full amount. Generally, families who qualify for free or reduced lunch, may receive a scholarship. Summer camp information hits my desk in February and if you think you might be able to take advantage of this opportunity, it’s never too early to get your child’s name on the list.
MEAP Info
ATTENTION, PARENTS AND STUDENTS!
The window for MEAP testing is quickly approaching. The first day of testing is Monday, October 8 and the window closes on Oct. 26. Some part of the test or a make-up session is scheduled every day during these weeks.
It is very important that your child be in attendance and ready to test. Please avoid any absences for your child during this time if at all possible. The fewer make up tests that we have to do, the smoother the process.
Please make sure that your child is rested and has a good breakfast. We want every child to do the very best that they can do.
