If I fail, I will be ok.
I will try a different way.
I will say I just can't do it yet.

Guidance lessons are provided to each class one time a month.

We also learn about Tolerance and Diversity, Emotional Regulation and Conflict Resolution, Social Skills and Cooperation, Careers and Study Skills, Health and Wellness, Stress and Coping Skills to name a few!
