Dear Acton Community,

As many of you know, I am nearing the end of my pregnancy.  My husband and I are expecting our first child over Thanksgiving break.  While I am thrilled to meet this new member of my family, it is also a priority of mine to ensure that students here have consistency and are well supported in my absence.   I plan on being here at school until Thanksgiving break.  Starting November 30th, Bess Keirnan will be filling in as the long-term school counseling substitute.    Mrs. Kiernan is a Maine state certified school counselor with a masters degree in counseling.  She previously worked at Wells Junior High School as a school counselor and has a variety of experiences working with children of all ages.  In the last few weeks she has spent time in the building both getting acquainted with the school counseling program and students, as well as substituting for other teachers in the building.   We feel very lucky to have her!

Mrs. Kiernan will be covering for me until February vacation and will be running all aspects of the counseling program including guidance classes, small groups, and individual counseling/check-ins.  She will also be available to consult with parents/guardians.  After November 30, she can be contacted by email at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or by phone at 636-2100 *105.   I will be returning to school on February 22nd.  While I am at home with my new baby, Mrs. Kiernan will be able to check in with me as needed.  I will be available to offer support in the event of a crisis or to provide background information on a struggling student.

I will be thinking of all of you as I change diapers and do frequent feedings.  Have a safe and happy holiday season!

Sincerely,

Brianne Gallagher
Acton School Counselor

Acton Parenting Group planned for the Fall PDF Print E-mail
Friday, 27 March 2009 13:53
Need a little parenting support, advice, validation? Help is on the way. I will be running a 6-week parenting group starting in October 2009 for our Acton Elementary School parents (K-12). The group will be run using the Systematic Training for Effective Parenting (STEP) model but will be made to fit the needs of the group. I am confident that this will be an awesome opportunity to connect and communicate with other parents while working to improve parenting skills. Please let me know if you are interested or would like more information.
