Introduction and Success Bound

Hello everyone! We made it through our first week! My name is Matt Renas and I am one of your school counselors this year. I was supporting Henry last year while Mrs. Garfinkel was on her maternity leave, and now I am here full time. I am so excited to be working with our students for the whole year!

One means of support I provide at Henry is through a program called Success Bound. It is a CPS wide program for all 6th - 8th graders. Each day I work with a different grade level. During these lessons, we work on developing successful skills for school as well as life outside of school. We talk about self monitoring success during the school year and who to reach out to for support. We also discuss High School and post-secondary options. I am eager to teach this class and know it will help all of our students.
