In all honesty, I’m not a trained mental health professional and refer students to our counselors when I suspect something serious is going on. But I am always there to listen when students want to talk and give gentle advice when it’s asked for. I also share resources that might benefit students

I'm in elementary, but we have a mindfulness room where they can decompress, and we have trained staff. If you're not trained I would listen to them and if you think it is something serious, pass it on to the appropriate person

I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?

I was supportive of Lori when this virus first started but her actions since have dwindled my support of her.

I know everything doesn’t fall on her shoulder but things haven’t been great as of late. Hopefully they figure out something soon.
