Welcome Back to School

Counselor’s Corner

As we embark on another exciting school year, I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for your continued support and partnership. Together, we can create a nurturing and enriching environment for our children.

 


 

Important Announcements:

  • Routines Matter: Establishing consistent routines around sleep, homework, and meals is crucial for our students’ success.

  • Collaboration: Our students are learning how to work together effectively both in the classroom and on the playground. Encourage your children to share their experiences at home!

  • Classroom Expectations: We have revisited our classroom expectations, focusing on our PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) principles of being Safe, Respectful, and Responsible. Ask your children what these values mean to them.

 


 

We are thrilled to celebrate that we survived the first week of school and successfully held our Back to School Night! It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces and to connect with new families. Thank you for joining us in this important kickoff to the school year!

We are grateful for your ongoing support and commitment to our school community. Together, we can foster a positive and engaging learning environment for our children.

WELCOME!

Holy Rosary Families, I hope the school year is off to a great start and you are relishing in the beauty of making all things new! My name is Megan Choitz (Ms. Megan), I’m the new school counselor at Holy Rosary. I will be helping the students with social-emotional lessons, group work, and one-on-one meetings.

I am a licensed clinical social worker and have been working in hospital and school settings for the past 15 years.  I am very excited to join the Holy Rosary community and have delighted in the warm welcome I have received.  Catholic school has been formative in my education as I attended Catholic School from 6th grade through college.  It has been a joy to see all the students playing at recess and navigating unstructured time. 

As a parent of two school aged children, I know the challenges of balancing all the things, especially during this COVID ambiguity.  I am excited to continue to support students as we navigate what school looks like now and how that impacts friendships, peer relationships, problem solving and learning.  Children have such resilience and I have learned so much in observing them overcome challenges.  I look forward to collaborating with you!

Please feel free to reach out to me: mchoitz@holyrosaryws.org
