    Google Classrooms

    I have created a google classroom for every homeroom in the building.  All school counseling lessons will be posted there, as well as a variety of resources for the students to reference at any time.  The links to the google classrooms are below.  Please note, however, this link will only work if your child is a member of the class and using their Sullivan account.

    Virtual Calming Room

    A virtual calming room is a place where you can explore, enjoy, and learn techniques for calming down and managing your thoughts, feelings, and actions so that you can be productive problem solvers.  When our emotions are high, it becomes difficult to think clearly and make good choices.  By calming our body, our thoughts, and our emotions, we can think more clearly and make choices that are helpful!  Please remember to use your guidance google classroom for more specific calming activities and coping skills.  Also, you can fill out the form to speak with the school counselor if you need to problem solve and develop coping strategies.  Click Virtual Calming Room to try.
