School Counselors
Greetings from the School Counselor!
Please see the attached to find all updates from our School Counselor Mrs. Griffin!!
Grandparents As Parents (G.A.P.) – A Support Group
Circumstances often lead to situations which require family support beyond the traditional two-parent home. Grandparents are providing that support; today’s grandparent is becoming the “other parent” for those children fortunate enough to have one.
Is your child (or grandchild) one of over 354,000 students in Florida who are currently living with a grandparent? I would like to invite you to join our group as we meet for coffee and conversation on the first Tuesday of each month from 9:00 – 10:00 AM, at Read-Pattillo Elementary, Rm. 6-29 through the month of May. Suggestions for discussion are always welcome!
I hope you will be able to join us to give input, ask questions, share and gain support from others who are also sharing in the awesome responsibility of parenting their grandchildren.
For information please call 386-424-2600 , Guidance Option 7 or email mgriffin@volusia.k12.fl.us
Kindest regards,
Marla
