Guidance
| Click here to learn more about the Second Step program. |
The AES guidance program consists of individual, group and classroom meetings
to increase student's social and emotional awareness. Each month a new
topic will be reinforced to align with the Ashby Elementary School Improvement
Plan. Common topics addressed through Second Step and Responsive classroom
include impulse control, empathy, anger management, bullying, citizenship,
friendship, and problem solving. In addition to those topics, the fifth
grade students will also discuss Sexual Harassment and Transitioning to
the Middle School. More information about fifth grade classes will follow
when the class dates are finalized.
I am available by phone at 978-386-7266 or email at: droy@nmiddlesex.mec.edu anytime for parents and guardians to discuss any issues regarding your students. Other resources that have been helpful to others are located on this page*. Thank you and have a wonderful school year! Mrs. Roy
