​Updates from BHS Counseling/ Guid Dept – Week of October 28, 2019

10/27/2019

 
ALL STUDENTS/PARENTS- CARETAKERS
 
Please note - all new updates are highlighted in red each week for quick review. I have included a helpful online article from last year’s Grown and Flown website on “10 things to say to your stressed out teen”. Hoping these suggestions can offer some reassurance to parents as they do their best to support their high schoolers.

If you are ever concerned about your student, please reach out to your student’s assigned school counselor. And….Happy Halloween!
