Hello from your School Counselor!!

I am so happy to be joining the wonderful community of St. Mary Magdalen! Thank you for the warm welcome; I cannot wait to get to know all of my students and their families!

I am in my sixth year as a school counselor and have always had a focus on Social Emotional Learning (SEL.) The most basic way to describe what SEL means is that I will help my students to be the best version of themselves through understanding their feelings and helping them to solve their own problems. SMM purchased the Second Step SEL Curriculum which I will be implementing throughout the year. I will meet with 7th grade weekly, 8th grade weekly in Trimester 2, and the rest of the school throughout the year.

In addition, to Classroom Guidance, I also meet with students individually. If you ever have any concerns, please feel free to reach out to me at kbocanegra@smmschoolde.com or (302) 656-2745 ext. 133. Email is best but both are great options!
