I hope you all had a relaxing and enjoyable summer vacation. I am very excited to begin the 2022-2023 school year with the St. John Paul II Regional School family.  As a ten-year veteran in education,  I’m excited about growing the counseling program and supporting all of my students to meet their social, emotional and academic needs. This year, I will be working with the PreK-5th graders, visiting each of their classrooms on a weekly basis to provide social emotional guidance lessons.  Social Emotional Learning is the process through which children begin to learn, understand and manage their emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.  This is an essential part of student growth; it gives them the social skills and emotional awareness they need to excel within the school and their communities. Each month, I will introduce a new theme that focuses on a specific topic while incorporating what it means to be a good citizen, student, and peer.

Please keep an eye out on my school website where I will post information on the monthly topics along with family conversation starters and resources you can use at home to help reinforce what was learned.  

My door is always open to my students, and I am available for individual counseling and small group counseling on an as needed basis. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me at any point throughout the school year. You can contact me at (631) 727-1650 or via email at cnarus@sjp2regional.org. 

Sincerely,
