Counseling & Guidance
 

We can’t control what has happened, but we can control how we respond to what is happening. 

The crisis around COVID-19 is leaving an indelible footprint on the hearts and minds of multiple generations of children and adults—even our youngest ones who are not yet old enough to realize it. The impact and ripple effects across our collective livelihoods is likely too vast to comprehend. 

It’s scary. But it’s not hopeless. 

Recognizing our emotions and leveraging the science of SEL (Social Emotional Learning) is more important now than ever.

Our counselors are here for you and can support us in managing our roller coaster of emotions over the coming days and months. For many of us it’s dealing with daily uncertainty and new ways of interacting. 

Please contact our counselors if you have questions or need guidance.

Call For Volunteers 
 
 
 
Dear Long Families:
 
The Department of  Partnership and Volunteer Services is requesting volunteers to helpFood & Child Nutrition Services with the distribution of meals.  J.L. Long Middle School has been designated a school for meal distribution.

PVS is asking for five volunteers to work 3.5 hours beginning on Monday, March 23-April 9.

Five Volunteers are needed every Monday and Thursday, 9:30 a.m.-1:00p.m. to help distribute meals to families curbside.

Interested volunteers who have been cleared, passed the background check, completed the orientation and can attest that they are clear of coronavirus symptoms are asked to apply.

Partnership and Volunteer Services has created an opportunity for this project on the JL Long ‘voly’ site. The PVS Team will provide volunteers with any additional information as they sign up and share their names with the campus administrators. They should report to the main office upon arrival to the campus. Volunteers can also email me if they are interested.

Thank you,

Natalie D. Tanner
