The Wellsboro Area School District Board of Education will hold a Special Meeting to discuss contracts, memorandums of understanding, continuity of education and other general business as a result of Covid-19 on Tuesday, April 7, 2020 at 6:30 PM. Attendees are encouraged to attend the meeting via zoom. Instructions will be posted to the District website (www.wellsborosd.org) prior to the meeting.

Hello Students, I hope you are doing well, staying healthy and making the best of time at home with your family. Times of uncertainty can lead to increased anxiety or stress for all of us. Please communicate your feelings about this pandemic to those that you trust. Please limit your intake of media, as it can become overwhelming. Please increase your time doing healthy activities such as exercise, spiritual activities, academics and social interaction (I’m seeing a lot of creative social interaction adhering to the distancing guidelines!). If you would like to speak with a mental health professional during this time about anything related or unrelated to the pandemic, we would love the opportunity to listen to you. Counseling services will be available via Zoom sessions (or phone if you do not have access to Zoom) starting Tuesday, 3/31. The following are instructions to sign up for a counseling session: 1. Email me (blargey@wellsborosd.org) with a statement that says you would like to be scheduled for a counseling session. In the email please indicate if you have a preferred day, time, and if you have a preferred counselor/psychologist you would like to speak with. If you do not indicate a preference for time or counselor, you will be scheduled for the next available time. Also indicate whether you would like a zoom session or a phone call. • Dr. Largey, School Psychologist • Ms. Le, School Psychologist Intern • Mr. Rogers, School Psychologist • Mrs. Harmon, High School / Elementary Guidance Counselor • Mr. Mascho, Middle School / Elementary Guidance Counselor • Mr. Rendos, High School Guidance Counselor 2. I will respond to your email at 8pm or 8am and send you your scheduled time for your appointment and your invite to your Zoom Session (or phone number for you to call). While this is a different format for counseling within the school, we will follow the same procedures regarding parent permission for counseling in the school: If the zoom counseling sessions exceed one or two consultation sessions, a parent’s permission will be required to schedule weekly counseling. Confidentiality rules will be followed in the same ethical / legal manner as they are in the traditional school setting. Please do not hesitate to email me with any questions regarding these services. In closing, please remember that if you are experiencing any mental health problems that would concern your safety, please call 911 immediately and ask for the on-call crisis worker. Sincerely, Dr. Largey
