WELCOME BACK STUDENTS AND PARENTS
Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s),
I would like to welcome everyone
to a new and exciting school year! We have many great things in store for your
child as they begin school. As your child’s counselor, I believe in helping
students make their lives easier and more productive by providing a counseling
program that will enhance their academic, personal, and social development. My
goal is to maintain a safe and secure environment where students can grow and
develop into happy, healthy, and independent learners.
You may contact me for concerns
over your child’s achievement, concerns over behavior issues, discussion of
special needs of your child, potential crisis, or any family difficulties or
concerns. At any time, students may walk in to see me with any issues that they
might have. Students may be referred to the counseling office by parents,
teachers, or administrators.
As your child’s school counselor,
I will be:
Counseling individual students
dealing with personal/social and academic issues.
Maintaining confidentiality at
all times.
Facilitating group counseling
sessions designed to address specific concerns or issues.
Conducting classroom guidance
lessons to enhance social development, address students needs, teacher
concerns, or current events.
Coordinating educational programs
(assemblies,workshops,presentations…)
Providing information and
resources to parents, students, and teachers.
Supplying college and career
information through presentations and enrichment activities.
School counseling services are
available to all students. Please refer to my counseling blog for more details
of services and provided resources. I look forward to working with you and
helping in any way that I can. Please feel free to contact me if you have any
questions or concerns. I can be reached at kross@laalliance.org or by phone
(323) 920-4388 on campus, in room 211.
Thank you for entrusting your
child to us. We are looking forward to a wonderful school year together!
