Dear Parents/Guardians,

              I am writing to you as the guidance counselor at Holy Family School. I have enjoyed getting to know your child/ren. 

              As the guidance counselor here I am available to help students individually and in small or large groups.  Some of the issues I have addressed with the students are bullying, internet safety, and peer pressure.   I will also help facilitate the transition from Holy Family School to high school and will address any crises that may occur inside or outside of school. 

              I am available at the school on Wednesdays and Thursdays and can be reached at 781-878-1154.  I can be reached by email on Wednesdays and Thursdays as well; my email address is acraven@hfsrockland.org.  I look forward to my continued work with you and your child. 

Sincerely,

Allison J. Craven, M.Ed.

Guidance Counselor
