Comments from the Counselor

New Articles for January

• Home and School Connection
• Parenting Pitfalls
  

Happy New Year! I wish you and your family good health, good luck, peace, and happiness in 2009—let’s make it a good one! It can also be a ‘new beginning’ for a child who is struggling in school—make a schedule for starting homework and study time, work on organization skills, and help your child be accountable—school is their ‘job’. Just in time for the Christmas break—‘Parenting Pitfalls’—an article included in this newsletter. Though this article was sent out last year as well—it will be new to some, and reminders are
helpful.

 If you have any concerns regarding your child(ren) or family, you can contact
me at school, #239-5535 or e-mail, pstinnett@stgabriel.net.
