QE Students and Families, I hope that this message finds you, and those you care about, healthy. I know that having this amount of time off of school is a big change, and we're all working together to navigate this new reality. With this change comes a set of unique challenges. I want to reach out and remind you that, as your school counselor, I continue to be here to support you. Please remember that you can contact me at any time at [email protected] with questions or concerns. I continue to check my email multiple times a day, Monday through Friday. Additionally, I'll be continuing to update this website with information and activities throughout our time out of school. Students - Below is a series of 25 activities that you can do, at home, during this time, to continue your discussion and thinking on many of the topics we have covered, so far this year! Parents and Guardians - Below is a resource that includes tips on how to talk to kids about COVID-19 As always, please do not hesitate to contact me with anything you need! Students - I miss you SO MUCH! -Mrs. Humphries
Through the minute meetings conducted in September and January, Mrs. Humphries was able to measure what students have learned from School Counseling Lessons up to this point in the year. Check out how much our students have learned!

Congratulations to the following classes that were our Perfect Attendance Challenge winners for Attendance Awareness Month:
Congratulations to all students and families who are continuing to work hard to have good attendance. The first step to success at school is being here! Sometimes, it can be hard to tell when sick is too sick for school. You want to make sure your child is healthy and gets the healing time he or she needs and you don't want to get other people sick. At the same time, you know it is important for your child's future and success to be going to school as much as possible. Download the poster below to help you decide when your child should go to school, when your child would benefit from staying home, and when your child needs medical treatment. Remember, if your child is absent, they should return to school with a parent note, or even better, a doctor's note. If your child is experiencing chronic illness or significant medical difficulties, please be sure to connect with your child's teacher, the school nurse, or the school counselor. We're all on your team to help you child achieve success!
After having the opportunity to meet with all of our students, I was able to compile some of the information into some graphs. This gives us some good information about how our students feel about school and what they like to do when they aren't at school. We can use this information to try to improve our students' success!
