Do you know about Erin's Law? All elementary school counselors in AACPS teach students K-5 about personal body safety. We use engaging videos from FightChildAbuse.org which are the right balance of serious but not scary. #Knowtherole #NBCT AACPS youtube.com/embed/tWg30kFD…

The role of the school counselor is unique, important, and often misunderstood. We support the academic, personal/ social, and career development of all students through schoolwide initiatives, classroom instruction, small groups, individual advisement and more. #KnowTheRole

The hashtag #KnowTheRole was created to educate stakeholders about the role of the school counselor and to advocate for AACPS school counselors on the local and state level. We'd love for SCs all over to join us in this advocacy. Know the role!

Attendance in elementary schools is so important, but so often out of our control as educators. Sometimes an incentive chart can help! Color one picture a day--when it's all colored, come get a prize! Attendance Works AACPS drive.google.com/file/d/176MV6E…

I love the idea of building independence through community interactions! I think this article gives some good ideas on how to do it safely🤝

It's #PurpleUpDay at AACPS, a wonderful opportunity to show support for our military children. 💜💜💜 Check out militarychild.org -they have really great resources and webinars for military families.

Need a battery change on this Thursday morning? I love this message! Counselors, we need to get those super-power re-chargeable ones, huh? :)

What a meaningful session with my 3rd grade group today!🌼 We wrote some things we have said or done that we regret--then crumpled them up and trashed them!🚮 Starbound has been a wonderful curriculum for these young ladies - thank you Carol Miller-Counseling Essentials for this great tool!

Happy Pride Month!!! 🌈🏳️‍🌈🤍

(Thanks to field day!) 😆 I walked over 15,000 steps today and got the Urban Boot badge with Fitbit!

The National Board salary enhancement is being used to recruit highly qualified educators. Maryland State Department of Education should include School Counselors on the list of eligible educators given students' mental health needs and the shortage of SCs as shown: Strong Schools MD MSCA_Online National Board

Lots of foggy brains today as we return from winter break 🌫 Mine included! Trying to remind myself that CONSISTENCY and ROUTINE are key! Get your rest, eat at normal times, take your meds, go on a walk, unplug from screens when you're no longer feeling present 💛#selfcare

Congratulations to our January Attendance Avenger and MVP award recipients and their efforts. Our attendance numbers are improving and students are experiencing greater successes! Thank you to our awesome Attendance Mentors for their part too. #belonggrowsucceed
