Good morning.  Today is the first day of National School Counseling Week. The theme of this year’s week is “School Counselors: Standards-Based, Student-Focused.” Did you know that our school counselors have standards for school counseling, just like our teachers have standards for learning?  A standard is basically a way to measure excellence or quality.   So, at the start of each school year, our counselors use standards to develop a plan to support student success in school.  They also use standards to help you, the student, build a strong foundation for learning.   Do you feel like you need to build up your foundation? Come see your counselor!   Thank you so much for all your do for the students at Hoquiam Middle School, Hoquiam High School and Homelink.
