Student
Services
Counseling
A reorganization and restructuring process was initiated to review the role and functions of counselors.
They continue to be key players in all areas that address the emotional and social well
being of our students.
The Counseling Department has created more opportunities for reflection on topics related to
parenting and personal growth for our students. “Educando en momentos de crisis”, “¿Cómo
desarrollamos hábitos de estudio en nuestros hijos según el estilo de aprendizaje de nuestros
estudiantes”, “Desarrollo de habilidades sociales, “Taller de alimentación: Un momento delicioso”,
“Depender o ser feliz”, “Estrategias de afrontamiento para el bullying en el ámbito escolar”, are
samples of the continuous commitment to support parents with effective strategies for helping
children establish appropriate social interactions, develop acceptance, demonstrate respect for
differences, and life-long problem-solving skills.
VYDA
(Valores y Desarrollo de
Auto-Estima)
This group of parent
volunteers has incorporated
elements of Growing
without Fear to develop
and promote activities to
continue strengthening
student self-esteem and
promoting a safe environment.
Growing without
Fear (GWF)
GWF continues being an
important component as it
promotes and empowers
values such as: Tolerance,
sense of community, inclusion,
courage, empathy,
solidarity, determination
and cooperation among our
students. The organization
of GWF Awareness Week by
its committee also has
added an additional time to
reflect as a unity on the
importance of a safe school
climate in all sections.

nutritionist have been
working together with the
Athletic Department to
coordinate strategies and
actions to promote a
healthy school environment.
This year´s focus has

health on the importance of
a safe school climate in all
sections.
