National School Counseling Week 2022, “School Counseling: Better Together,” will be celebrated from Feb. 7–11, 2022, to focus attention on the unique contribution of school counselors within U.S. school systems and how students are different as a result of what school counselors do. National School Counseling Week highlights the tremendous impact school counselors can have in helping students achieve school success and plan for a career.

School counselors work with all students to remove barriers to learning by addressing students’ academic concerns, career options and social/emotional skills,” said Jill Cook, American School Counseling Association executive director. “School counseling programs help to increase student achievement and provide a much-needed resource for students, parents, teachers and administrators. School counselors are integral to student success.

Lakewood will be hosting special events and activities all week in order to call attention to the countless benefits of a comprehensive school counseling program.

• If you student has tested positive, or been in close contact with a confirmed covid-19 case, please EMAIL Nurse Sundin at Jsundin@dallasisd.org or Nurse Assistant Mclemore-Vaughn at lmclemorevaughn@dallasisd.org. Emails reporting Covid-related information should contain:

  2. Date of close contact or positive test
  3. Symptoms and any further context
  4. Vaccination status of the student
  5. Copy of positive/negative Covid-19 test if applicable

• Quarantine guidance has been updated to reflect an isolation period of 5 days after a positive Covid test.  See those details HERE.

• Those who have been fully vaccinated and are deemed a close contact will not be required to quarantine if they are not displaying symptoms. As always, anyone who displays symptoms of COVID-19 should stay home and contact their health care provider.

• If your child has been fully vaccinated, please submit a copy of the vaccination card to lmclemorevaughn@dallasisd.org.
