Hello parents!
My name is Shauna Moran and I am the middle school counselor here at Saint Leo the Great School. I have been tasked with the ever important job of overseeing the school’s character education plan and working with the school community to develop new and fun ways to foster the development of our core values into our students. I am also available to meet individually with students and in groups to meet their mental wellness needs as it relates to their education.
Our Middle School Students wlll continue to utilze our Character Strong program that we instituted last year. We have had a lot of postiive feedback from both our staff and students about this program.
I will be visiting the Middle School classroroms monthly to provide lessons on Social-Emotional Learning and Execcutive Functioning. In order for students to be academically, socially, and behaviorally successful in, out, and beyond school, they need to learn a set of social and emotional competencies, namely cooperation, confidence, responsibility, empathy, coflict-resolution, and self-control. I will also cover topics such as time-management, organization, and study skills
We are cotinuing with our Academic Drop-in Program this year as well. On Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays students who are struggling academically, have missing asssingments/asssessments or would like assistance with their executive functioing skill are able to come see me in Room 216 during their lunch/recess block.
I want to be sure that you all had the information necessary to reach me should your child need additional support or resources. If you have any concerns, please feel free to contact me at the email address below or you can reach me at my extension at 203. You can also reach me by directly chatting with me on Microsoft Teams.
