Dear Parents and Guardians:
I am very pleased to be writing to you as the new guidance counselor at Holy Family School. As the guidance counselor here I am available to help students individually and in small or large groups. Some of the issues I plan to address this year are bullying, conflict resolution, friendships, internet safety, and peer pressure. I will also help facilitate the transition from Holy Family School to high school and will address any crisis that may occur inside or outside of school.
I am available at the school Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 8:30 am to 2:30 pm and can be reached at (781) 878-1154 or at asimon@hfsrockland.org. I look forward to getting to know you and your child!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Allison C. Simon, M.S.Ed.
Guidance Counselor
Holy Family School
2009- 2010
