Rams Rising | January Edition

January often arrives like a clean sheet of notebook paper—inviting, hopeful, and full of fresh possibilities. This month we’re helping students reset, refocus, and rebuild their routines after the holiday break.

January becomes not a restart, but a recalibration — guiding students into the semester with steadier hearts and clearer minds.

✨ New beginnings don’t require perfect starts

We’re here with you and your family throughout the year — supporting, listening, and helping students grow in resilience and hope.

As Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs) and Licensed Professional Counselor Associates (LPC-Associates), we provide free, school-based therapy for all MWISD students.

If you believe your child could benefit from counseling and they are not currently seeing a counselor outside of school, please contact your child’s campus school counselor to request a referral.

Warmly,
