As children grow, parents may begin to see behaviors that are new and may cause concern. Trying to decide if this is just a normal part of growing up or the start of more serious issues can be difficult. There are professionals here at your student's school that can help you and guide you to outside resources should that become necessary. In addition to your school administrators, there is a team of support personnel for your student. We have a staff that includes a school counselor, school nurse and health assistant as well as a school psychologist and social worker. We work together with your child's teachers and administration to help your student be successful here at Magee. If you have concerns and would like to get input or support from the school, contact the main office at 731-5000 to speak to one of us about your concerns.
Parent Toolkit is a wonderful resource for information about social and emotional growth throughout a child's life. Just click on the picture below and scroll down to the section on SOCIAL & EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT. There is also age specific information to help your student academically. You will find a wealth of information to help both you and your student.

If you think you need more assistance than can be found at school, finding your way to the correct community resource to help you with your concern can be confusing and difficult. To assist you, click on the picture of Tucson below to find a list of local providers and agencies that may be just what you are looking for. This list is by no means comprehensive. The providers listed are in no way affiliated with TUSD and inclusion on the list does not mean the district is recommending them.
It is just a place for you to start. |
