Counselor's Corner

Dear St. Monica Families-
I understand that this time of uncertainty is having a great impact on all our families. I want you to know that we are in this together. By working together, we can continue to educate our students and address the needs of all our students. I will do my best to provide the care and support in this eLearning environment. Here are some ways that the School Counselor’s office will support you at home.

• E-Learning office hours are from 9:00 am – 10:00 am and 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm Monday thru Friday. I will be available by phone or virtually to help with any concerns you and your student may have. I will also be reachable by email through the school day.
• I will send out links to social/emotional learning and other relevant information that can be accessed when it is convenient for your family. The links will be located on the school website under the Parent Resources tab under School Counselor.
• I will offer the opportunity to talk with the School Counselor as a parent or as a student with a parent present during normal school hours. This can be through email or virtually.

Staying informed on what we have control over is a great way to reduce anxiety in children. Please contact me with any questions or concerns you may have at mkirgis@stmonicaschool.org.
 
Sincerely,
Maureen Kirgis
School Counselor
