Counselor's corner
We care about your children as much as you do. Middle school can be a tough time. Below are some resources that may help.
Family Support Resources
Our counselors, Mrs. Katie Lattanzi katielattanzi@sjp-sta.org and Mrs. Marlie Wahl marliewahl@sjp-sta.org are here to help your child with their social, emotional, and academic needs. They help your child learn coping skills at school, provide study tips, teach classroom lessons to improve their self-concept and relationships with other students, and give them a safe space to talk about any of life's hardships. Please see the below list of resources for child and adolescent mental health, and reach out to your child's counselor anytime you need them to check in. Please note that sessions with students are confidential unless there is a potential for harm or the counselor is given permission by the child to share.
