Counselor Connection

Happy New Year Langford Families! As we move into the second half of the school year, it is great reflect on how far our students have come and how much work we have done with multiple character traits. We will continue to work on our monthly character traits but we will also start working on the 7 Mindsets. The 7 Mindsets includes the following: Everything is possible, Passion First, We are connected, 100% Accountable, Attitude of Gratitude, Live to Give, and The Time is Now.

How can I prevent bullying?" Talk to your child about what t...
