December's PBIS focus is Compassion.  

Empathy + Action = Compassion. 

    In SEL we will explore empathy, which means putting yourself in someone else's shoes and trying to feel what that person feels. From there we will explore how empathy moves us into action to alleviate a problem or suffering. Compassion is when you SEE someone in need, CARE about their feelings, and DO something to show you care.

Counselor News

During College and Career Academic Support this week, the students completed two career profiles. These career profiles allow the students to have an overall understanding of the career's salaries, required skills, typical schedules, and more. Feel free to ask your students what careers they chose! 

If you have any questions, please give us a call at 217-352-4328. 

Best regards,
