Dear
Parents:
Words
cannot express how wonderful it is to be back in school following
Hurricane Ike. As you know, families in Winnie are experiencing
different stages of recovery. Some of you are living in damaged homes
while some are unable to return to your homes. There are so many
different circumstances that I cannot begin to list them in this
message, and I do not need to tell you how stressful these interruptions
in our daily lives can be. The good news is that having your children
back in school is the best recovery effort you can engage in.
We
have several students who have transferred into our district due to
Hurricane Ike, and I would like to take this opportunity to welcome your
family to East Chambers as well as express our sympathy and concern for
your losses. We are all in this together, and please know that we are
committed to provide your child(ren) with the exemplary education and
care they deserve for the duration of their career as East Chambers
Buccaneers.
Please read the informative article in the website included on my web
page regarding the reaction of children to a disaster, and again, if
there is anything I can do to assist you in this matter or any other,
please call me.
Sincerely,
Kemper Gibson

As your child's school counselor, I
would like to take this opportunity to share some information that might
help make the transition from a relaxed summer to the fast pace of the
school year go a little smoother. It is no secret that establishing a daily
routine is vital in helping a child feel secure and able to perform to the
best of their ability. Read some suggestions that may help your child make
an easy transition from summer to school.

counseling in which they help students to: |
- recognize and understand their feelings and the
feelings of others.
- accept themselves and others.
- recognize, understand, and work through learning
difficulties.
- talk about their educational and personal/social
concerns.
- relate to others.

sibling, divorce, etc.
