WPS Career Exploration

Involvement Survey

Attention WPS Families and Community!

We invite you to complete the following short WPS Career Exploration Involvement survey so we can help our students learn about the exciting careers that exist within our community, offer relevant career training & advancement programs in our community, and ensure we are connecting with interested families who want to partner with our schools.  

This survey is short, will take less than five minutes of your time, and will provide us with valuable insight about connections we need to make.  Thank you!


Attendance Matters!

*Message from Our School Counselors*

Active Listening

We know it’s challenging to communicate with middle

schoolers at times. Active listening can help our

students feel appreciated, valued, and heard.

Face your student

(Yes, stop multitasking)

Make eye contact

Do not interrupt the student

Do not start planning your response…..really listen!

Reflect back what is said….”so I hear you saying…”

Ask questions

????????

Try to really listen to your student and not automatically give them advice or

 tell them a story about how things were when

you were their age…..active listening works!
