MY CLASSROOM RULES:
Students are asked to raise their hands to ask or answer questions, to listen to others when speaking, and to be kind in actions and words.

Students are NOT required to engage in any activity. 

Students are encouraged to but NOT required to leave their cameras on during the lesson.  

IMPORTANT:  Please make sure your child knows how to use the "mute" and "unmute" button before class starts.  

PARENTAL GUIDANCE NOTE:  This is a skills oriented club, NOT counseling, therefore students are not asked to discuss their feelings or problems. Instead, we focus on skills to help us manage our feelings and problems.  

NOTE FROM MISS LORI:
I am passionate about teaching coping skills and I look forward to helping your child discover the power that comes with emotional management.
