School Counselor

Last week your child had the opportunity to meet our school counselor, Mrs. Sarah Boyd.   The children learned that a school counselor can help children talk about things that are bothering them or things that are on their minds.  Mrs. Boyd shared with the children that there are a variety of ways in which she can assist students, such as:

• working one-on-one with a child.
• working with a group of other children who are experiencing the same feelings, situations, etc. 
• coming into the classroom to teach lessons.
• meeting with teachers and/or parents to discuss the best ways in which we can all help our students.

When Mrs. Boyd meets with her students she discusses a variety of topics including the following:

• how to talk about feelings.
• how to get along with others.
• the loss of a loved one.
• changing families.
• how to be the best students they can be.

Mrs. Boyd is available at Hutchings on Monday - Friday all school year.  If you believe your child could benefit from meeting with our school counselor, please feel free to contact her through our main office at 517-548-1127 or boyds@howellschools.com.
