| Greetings to all parents and students. My name is Andrew Mitchell, and
I am the School Counselor at Fairhill Elementary. My job has three very
important components:
1. First of all, my job is to help students resolve any sort of problem
that might be interfering with their academics. This could be issues
here at school...or issues happening at home or somewhere else. These
may be small issues such as a child whose feelings are hurt...or a large
issue such as a child whose parents are separating or becoming divorced.
My job is to help the students with these issues so they can focus more
of their attention on their class work...and less attention on these
other distractions.

2. Another important part of my job is to develop and organize,
with the help of others, our school's character education program. Our goal
is to produce educated children with great character. Each month, we have
a new character trait such as being honest, responsible, polite, patient,
etc. We encourage the students to exhibit these character traits and see
that having good character is a part of having a good quality education.
3. My final piece at our school is to provide assitance to parents...and
to answer any questions they might have regarding their children. Common
questions include behavior problems at home, discipline, organization, school
questions, etc. Any question you have...I'll do my best to answer.
So please don't ever hesitate to contact me at the school for any question
you might have. If I do not know the answer, I'm sure I can direct you to
the person who can. |
