When Do I Contact the School Counselor?

The School Counselor is here to help when you are looking for more

support to handle an academic, social or emotional concern with your

child. You might contact me when you have questions, would like

someone to speak to your child, want to seek outside resources, need

assistance for your family or would just like to talk through an issue.

Habit 1: Be Proactive  

You Are in Charge of You

Responsibility · Choice · Accountability · Initiative · Resourcefulness  

• I am a responsible person.

• I take initiative.

• I choose my actions, attitudes, and moods.

• I do not blame others for my wrong actions.

• I do the right thing without being asked, even when no one is looking.

Practicing At Home…

With your child, think of ideas on how they can Be Proactive at home. Picking out their clothes at night, getting dressed in the morning, making their beds, picking up their toys, or packing their school bag are examples of being proactive. Choose one idea and write it on the line.

I will Be Proactive at home by: _______________________________________

I am a leader ~ I Can Be Proactive!

Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw

Take Care of Yourself

Renewal · Continuous Improvement · Balance

• I eat right, exercise, and get enough sleep (body).

• I learn in lots of ways and lots of places, not just at school (brain).

• I spend time with family and friends (heart).

• I take time to find meaningful ways to help people (soul).

• I balance all four parts of myself.

Practicing At Home…

Sharpen the Saw means to have balance in your life. Just like a car needs four tires to operate smoothly, your child has four parts: body, brain, heart, and soul. All four parts are needed to operate smoothly.

Display this page where you and your child will see it. Use the diagram below to help your child focus on taking care of one part each day. Let Friday be a “choice” day.

I am the“leader of me!” I take care of my body, brain, heart, and soul.

Monday: Body ___________________________________________________

Tuesday: Brain __________________________________________________

Wednesday: Heart _______________________________________________

Thursday: Soul __________________________________________________

Friday:          __________________________________________________

I am a leader ~ I Sharpen the Saw!

Tahoka Elementary Read-A-Thon

What is it? It’s a way to focus on reading and raise money for our school.

When is it? October 10^th-21^st

Where will the Read-A-Thon be held? Your child will have 20 minutes a day set aside in their classrooms to focus on reading.

How does it work? You will receive an instruction note in your child’s Tuesday Packet.  Follow the simple steps to activate your child’s page; it just takes a few minutes. Share your child’s page with your family & friends and make a one-time donation to our school.

What will the money be used for? The money raised will be used to support our clubs, which will begin later this month.  We also want to have murals painted on the walls within our school building.

Thank you for your support!
