Counselor

Instructor: Mr. Kane

Greetings to all! School counselors are tasked with supporting classroom teachers. We do this by addressing the career, academic, and personal/social needs of the students. Our services are part of your child's public education, therefore, free of charge. However, due to the number of children we support, school counselors are not able to provide long-term therapy for any students.

I am also a membert of B. Everett Jordan's Student Support Team (SST), which meets regularly to address specific needs of children and families in our community. The other members of the team include the school nurse, social worker, psychologist, and assistant principal. Please contact any of us if you think a situation or event needs our attention.

Both the SST and myself support all students at B. Everett Jordan, grades K-5. I am usually in my office from 7:00-4:00 and can be reached directly at 438-4714 (sorry, voice mail does not work yet).

Our SST Philosophy is:

The B. Everett Jordan Student Support Team (SST) believe that every student is a valued individual, and should have equal rights and access to the best public education possible. All students and families, regardless of ethnic, cultural, racial, sexual differences, and special needs, shall have access to all resources available through the Student Support Team.

Our Mission Statement is:

Our Team will strive to remove or mitigate systemic and individual roadblocks for all students, enabling them to be successful 21^st Century learners.

EOG Time! Third - fifth grade parents, make sure your children are getting full nights of sleep during EOG's, as well as a good, balanced breakfast. Please have your children at school before 7:50 each day, ready to go. Talk to them about working hard to get what they want, and let them know that you have confidence in them!

A note on Bullying from June Atkinson

Weekly Message to Superintendents: Monday, March 14, 2011

Last Thursday, I was invited to the White House to participate in a discussion about bullying in public schools, the problems it creates, and prevention strategies. For students to excel in our classrooms we must provide them with a safe, caring learning environment. As one of only two state chief school officers to attend this event, I was able to

provide North Carolina’s perspective as to how we are addressing this type of school violence that has such a lasting, and sometimes deadly, impact on its victims. With the technology now available at our fingertips, students are no longer only bullied in school hallways and playgrounds. Cyberbullying also has become a serious problem. Students must understand there are consequences for unacceptable behavior online as well as on school grounds. At the event, parents of children who were bullied in school spoke of the need to not only help the victims but also those who bully and the bystanders who watch it happen. A website was recently launched - http://stopbullying.gov - that provides resources to educators, students and the school community to address bullying. It is imperative for the entire school community to stand together and put a stop to bullying. Bullying of any type should not be a rite of passage for our public school students on their way to getting a high school diploma.

Regards, June Atkinson

We do not allow BULLYING

Bullying is usually defined as behaviors, repeated over time, that cause someone to not want to be in school, or in a classroom, or on the bus. It can be physical, verbal, or just through the act of leaving someone out repeatedly.

If you feel that your student is being bullied, let someone know as soon as possible; a teacher, bus driver, principal, or assistant principal. Please let me know as well, so we can make sure the bullying behaviors are stopped.

You can reach my by calling 376-3673, or email at michael_kane@abss.k12.nc.us

Thank you!
