Student Comments About Heads Up Checkup

“I thought this was very easy to take, it went really fast, it was shorter than I thought it would be, I liked it.”

7th Grade Student

“I think taking this was great, it helps you discover what’s inside you and helps you to go deeper. Helps to you to begin to solve your problems yourself.”

8th Grade Student

“I am glad to talk to somebody about my problems.  However, I usually don’t talk to others because I thought it was selfish to talk about my problems. So I just keep it to myself.”

8th Grade Student

“I like getting out all of my feelings to someone who understands. I feel like this helps so I can talk about it.”

7th Grade Student

“I am so glad you called me in today. I had been meaning to talk to you this whole school year but when I came by you (school counselor) were always busy. I am really glad we can talk today.”
