Ho‘okipa

The Hawaiian word Ho‘okipa means Welcome. Ho‘okipa is appropriate in welcoming our past and new students and families to our 2024-25 school year.

I hope everyone had a wonderful summer. I am looking forward to another year filled with great memories.

For the new families, my name is Maria Corpuz-George, and I am thrilled to be the school counselor at Mid Pacific Elementary. My role is to support your children in their social and emotional development.

Roles and Responsibilities:
As a school counselor, I work closely with students to help them navigate any challenges they may face. My goal is to ensure that each child feels safe, supported, and ready to learn.

Services Offered:
I offer a variety of services to support our students, including:

• Individual Sessions: One-on-one meetings to address specific concerns or challenges your child might be facing.
• Group Sessions: Small group meetings that focus on common issues such as making friends, managing emotions, or improving study skills.
• Lunch Bunch: Informal lunchtime gatherings where students can socialize, build friendships, and learn social skills in a relaxed environment.

Benefits:
Participating in these sessions can help students develop essential skills, build confidence, and improve their overall well-being. Our goal is to create a supportive community where every child can thrive.

Contact Information:
If you have any questions or would like to discuss how these services might benefit your child, please feel free to reach out to me at mcorpuzgeorge@midpac.edu or call (808) 441-3839. You can also reach out to your child’s teacher. I look forward to working together with you to support your child’s success.
