We hope you are all adjusting well to these ever-changing and uncertain times. COVID-19 has upended how all of us operate on a day to day basis and changed our day-to-day face-to-face interaction with our students to a virtual experience.
We know how difficult it may be to navigate your role as a counselor as well as your role at home. With those roles combining, it adds an extra challenge to our daily lives. Please make sure you are finding time to take care of yourself.
Now more than ever we need to share our resources and best practices in the unprecedented situation we find ourselves in. We encourage you to use our Facebook page as an avenue to share ideas of what is working for you and any best practices as Remote School Counselors. We also encourage you to post words of inspiration and support to each other.
Please note that all upcoming meetings are postponed until further notice. This includes the best practice meeting that was scheduled for this Friday, March 27th.
At this point, we have a meeting scheduled for May 6th hosted by Roger Williams University followed by our June awards dinner hosted by Universal Technical Institute. We will update you about these meetings in April.
Please continue to nominate your colleagues for our Professional Awards. We hope to be back in business for the June meeting.
We will also extend the Scholarship Application deadline until April 14th.
