Personalized Counseling

POG gear

The purpose of 1:1 individual meetings is to provide a more personalized counseling experience to students across the campus. These meetings provide a whole child approach to ensuring that students are identifying their own strengths, goals, and challenges, while also building connections at school, home, and within the community. The individual meeting allows counselors to personalize continued support as needed throughout the school year. 

This quarter your school counselor will be meeting with 5th and 2nd grade students with the Humble ISD Consent for School Counseling Services.

This quarter, we will be participating in the Great Kindness Challenge during the week of January 26–30. In class, students will work together to complete acts of kindness, such as creating valentines for patients at Texas Children’s Hospital. On Wednesday, January 28, we will celebrate kindness by wearing our school colors—blue, green, and white. When we come together to promote kindness, we all win!
