Counseling
A Message From Mrs. Juarros
Hello Rio Tierra Families!
I am Mrs. Juarros, the school counselor. I think it is safe to say that the 2020/2021 school year was a crazy and difficult year for students and parents! It was also challenging for Rio Tierra staff at times as well. However, we made it! I am excited to be able to get to know your students in person this year. Please check out the multiple counseling webpages for lots of student and parent resources. If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me by calling the school and dialing extension 24085. You can also email me at leah.juarros@twinriversusd.org.

what is bullying & how to report it
Bullying is an ongoing and deliberate misuse of power in relationships through repeated verbal, physical and/or social behaviour that intends to cause physical, social and/or psychological harm. It can involve an individual or a group misusing their power, or perceived power, over one or more persons who feel unable to stop it from happening.
What bullying is not
- single episodes of social rejection or dislike
- single episode acts of nastiness or spite
- random acts of aggression or intimidation
- mutual arguments, disagreements or fights.
These actions can cause great distress. However, they do not fit the definition of bullying and they’re not examples of bullying unless someone is deliberately and repeatedly doing them. BUT you should still report it to me, Administration, or a teacher so we can prevent issues in the future.
