Workshop

May 18, 2010

I went to a workshop yesterday that made me think... and reflect. The topic was Healing Racism and there were people from AISD, the City of Austin, the Sheriffs department and APD. I looked around the room and I saw people who really cared about this city and where we are going. The conversations were insightful and heartfelt but I walked away wondering... now what.

What do I do to bring this information back to MY home, Summitt? How do I open this conversation? How can I make it palatable?


Looks like I have some work to do this summer.

New Adventure

Well, how do you deal with the sadness of not seeing your students all summer long? Start planning for next year, of course!
We have lots of fun things starting next school year - it is always an adventure!
Stay tuned!

What is Confidentiality?

Confidentiality means that anything discussed with the counselor will be kept private. The counselor will not divulge any information to parents, teachers, administrators or others. There are exceptions however: 1) If the person is a danger to him/herself or others, 2) under court order, 3) if the person gives their permission to speak.
