Welcome!
Welcome to Berkley Charter School! This is the time in our children’s lives when they are learning skills and developing habits that they will use and do for the rest of their lives.
The more care parents and teachers devote to this process, the more happy and successful the young ones will be in the future. Please support your child(ren) in their study efforts and be sure to shower praise on them when they succeed. It is very important for them to have a quiet place to study and a consistent study schedule. A good suggestion is for them to study before play time or TV/video games are played.
There are many reasons you may want to contact the school counselor. Counseling for students individually and/or in small groups may be requested to help students with their feelings, dealing with a fear or loss, coping with family changes, conflict management, friendship concerns, bullying, anger management or anything else that may interfere with your child’s education.
It is our goal for every student to be safe, responsible and respectful. Please feel free to contact me to request counseling for your child. Thank you for your time and feel free to contact me if I can be of assistance to you. I can be reached through the school office 863.968.5024 or by email suzanne.martin@berkleyknights.net. I also serve as the Assistant Principal. Have a great day!
Sincerely,
Suzanne Martin, School Counselor
