Families can still access the recording HERE to learn practical ways to help students explore careers, build skills, and make the most of summer opportunities. We shared tips on career conversations, hands-on experiences, volunteering, enrichment ideas, and ways students can begin discovering their interests and strengths. We’re also excited to host a student webinar later today: Summer with Purpose: Build Experience, Build Yourself at 2:00 PM! Students will learn creative and meaningful ways to build experience over the summer, strengthen their resumes, explore interests, and grow personally and professionally.

Student Mental Health Week May 11–15 is Student Mental Health Week, a state-wide initiative to highlight the importance of mental well-being for student success. By sharing resources and promoting self-care, your school counselors hope to encourage conversation, reduce stigma, and support a school community where every student feels seen, heard, and valued. Please enjoy the provided activities and reach out to your counselor, Ms. Allie at awhalen@sageoak.education to say hello or ask any questions. For 24/7 support for you or a loved one, please dial 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Wishing you a wonderful week ahead!  Sincerely, Mrs. Lana Beshara Virtual Learning Academy Principal |
