Supe's On: School counselors are vital in helping students succeed

Next Week (Feb. 5-9), the first full week of February, serves as National School Counseling Week. School counselors are vital members of our education team. Counselors provide valuable services to students in the areas of academic planning, social skills development, emotional health, career exploration, and post-secondary readiness. 

Playing an intricate role in the guidance of our youth, school counselors positively influence our future leaders and promote success in all children. National School Counseling Week provides schools with an opportunity to celebrate school counselors and the tremendous impact they have on helping students achieve academic and social success. 

Next week, please extend a note of appreciation to our BV School Counselors and school counselors across the country. School counselors – THANK YOU for your valuable and meaningful work with students!

Groundhog Phil will be looking for his shadow this week on Friday and predicting how much more winter we will have. Regardless of how long winter lasts, it is essential that winter weather safety precautions be taken for the remainder of the season. Whether riding the bus, driving, or walking to school, dressing for the winter weather is critical. Please, reinforce the importance of appropriate winter dress and safe winter driving practices with your child.

Lastly, a quick reminder that there is no school on Friday, Feb. 16 or Monday, Feb.19. School will be in-session on Thursday, March 14, 2024 (snow day) in the Brandon Valley School District.
