February 2022

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 everyone that donated to our "Langford Loves Pets" community service project. The Community service club will have one more project this year- we will be working on a garden here in the courtyard outside the media center. The students have done a phenomenal job this year choosing projects, spreading the word and serving their community. 

If you need to contact your school counselor, you can do so at 803-691-4091 x33402 or lasdavis@richland2.org.

October is a busy month! In the month of October we observe bully prevention month and Red Ribbon Week. This month hosted a bully poster contest and we are working on a school wide banner of Duck Tape to show that we "Stick Together" against bullying. All classroom lessons provided by the counselor this month are focused on educating our students on exactly what bullying is. We want our students to be knowledgeable about bullying, what it looks like, how to handle it if they see it and consequences for bullying behavior. I know that parents often are concerned about bullying behaviors but here at Langford, we want our parents to know that we are committed to keeping students safe and listening to student concerns. If you have any concerns or would like to speak to the counselor, please feel free to call the school and ask for me or you can dial my extension directly. Parents also ask "How can I help? How can I prevent bullying?" Talk to your child about what t...

This month has come with a load of changes for us here within the district. Please know that even though are schools are closed, your school counselor is still available to our students and their families. This is a time that may feel really strange to our students as they are accustomed to being inside of our building weekly. I am available via email and will do my best to reply to them to address your needs. As things continue to develop and change, as parents you can support and reinforce what we were working on at school with our Mindset of being 100% accountable. Some students were already provided this lesson and discussed ways and ideas that they can be accountable at home and at school. Again, know that we are missing the faces of our students that we are so used to seeing. Also, I am only an email away if you or your student requires assistance. Thank you and stay well. Please view the video below for information on how to connect with Mrs. Davis during this time. O...

WELCOME BACK LABS!! It feels so good to be back in school!! I have met many new Labs and I've seen Labs from last year. We are trying something new at Langford this year, we will be focusing on The 7 Mindsets. The 7 Mindsets, focuses on the students' social emotional well-being. Our first Mindset of the year is "We are Connected." Starting off the year, letting students know that we are a family here at Langford. We will work as a school on these Mindsets daily. We are also looking to increase the number of mentors in our mentoring program this year. If you or someone you know has time in their schedule and would enjoy being a source of encouragement in the life of a student, please have them contact the school. Mentors create their own schedule and all visits are here at school during the school day. The ONLY requirement is a background check. The more mentors we have, the more students we can support! I am super excited for another productive year hear at Langfo...
