Hi Parents/Caregivers,
I hope you are all well. First, I wanted to thank those of you who showed up for the virtual parent workshop presented by the Irvington Elementary Counselor team and local organization Basant Now. I hope you learned something new or helpful! If you have lingering questions about how to best set your child up for success, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me for more resources and information.
Second, there is an upcoming parent workshop hosted by FUSD Social Workers. Please see the linked flyer here for more information. The wellness workshop is planned for May 12th and is about Screen Time & Mental Health. If this is something that interests you, please join for a great evening of valuable information!
Last, as we enter the final few months of this school year, I want to acknowledge how hard all the students have been working with regard to their classes and any extracurriculars they may be enjoying. As we get closer to spring break and summer, students may start to pull back from school but it is really important they keep persevering and finish strong. Perseverance is a great skill for students to learn and practice so that they are better able to push through difficult, challenging, or tedious circumstances in the future (whether that’s in high school, college, or in their career). Now is a great time to check in with your student(s) about how they’re feeling with the end of the school year approaching and brainstorm (together) ways to stay motivated moving forward.
If you’d like to read more about perseverance or motivation, here are some articles:Â

As always, if you have any questions about the counseling services offered at Weibel or if you’d like to refer your student to counseling, please don’t hesitate to reach out. My goal this year is to make sure that all of our students feel supported and successful while they are here at school.
Warmly,
Kiauna Day-Smith
