Counselor Connection

Our Mindset this month is "Passion First." This mindset will allow students to connect their interests with possible career options. It is never too early to expose children to the world of employment opportunities. In grades 3-5 during Counselor Class, students will be completing career interest surveys. This provides students in our upper grade levels the opportunity to explore careers and career families/clusters, such as artistic, investigative, enterprising and conventional careers. Grades K-2 will be expanding their knowledge of careers and career titles.  This month is one in which we also recognize National School Counseling Week from February 7-11!! During this time students and staff will take a look at the role of the school counselor within our school. Knowing what the school counselor does is important so that students can identify that counselors are here to support them in career development, social emotionally, and academically.  We would like to thank everyon

 Happy New Year, Langford families! During the month of January, we revisit our Mindset of "We are Connected." This is a great time to remind students that we are a family here at Langford and that are actions can affect those around us because we are connected! Another aspect of being connected is maximizing positive relationships. Third and Fourth grade students will think about their personal heroes and write letters to them. Our PK-2 students will learn the importance of being an "includer." Inclusion is a huge piece of feeling connected to something or someone, so we are making sure that students know how to do that. Fifth grade students will be learning about interview skills as they prepare for their upcoming Magnet program interviews for middle school.  The Community Service Club will is hosting an project that will benefit the Pawmetto Lifeline Animal Shelter in Columbia. We are collecting DAWN dishwashing liquid, lanudry detergent, cat & dog toys, and
