Hello Parent/Guardian,

My name is Ryan Bunda and I am a student at Seattle University working

on my Masters in School Counseling. I will be working at Mt. View
Elementary for the 2013-2014 school year as a School Counseling Intern
along with the School Counselor Amy Hepburn Wednesdays through
Fridays.

As a School Counselor I work with your students by listening to their
concerns and offering my support in whatever way I can. I also teach
them how they can manage their emotions in a respectful way and how
they can make and keep friendships with other students. We would be
meeting for about 30 minutes once per week to check in and they WILL
NOT be missing academic time.

For part of my internship class we are asked to video record our sessions
with students and review them with our professor and a small number of
School Counseling students so we can get feedback in improving ourselves
as counselors. These tapes are strictly confidential and will only be
shown to my professor as well as my classmates. After sharing, tapes will
be destroyed. Attached is the consent form that allows us to video
record these sessions.

If you think School Counseling would be beneficial to your child please
check one of the boxes below. Thank you and if you have any questions
please feel free to email me (Ryan.Bunda@highlineschools.org) or
the School Counselor, Amy Hepburn (Amy.Hepburn@highlineschools.org)
or call 206-631-4500 and ask to speak with the School Counselor
