Welcome school Therapist – Lindsey Shafto
My name is Lindsey and I am the school therapist at Canyon Park
Middle School. I provide counseling to students and families who
need support with difficult situations or who find themselves
experiencing overwhelming and unmanageable feelings. My goal is for
students to enhance their mental health as well as improve academic
performance. Good mental health is so critical to a child’s
progress in school and life!
I have experience providing therapy to children ranging in ages
from preschool to young adulthood. I use a trauma-informed and
client-centered approach and specialize in working with children
that have not only experienced trauma, but also may suffer from
grief, depression, and anxiety, to name a few. I believe it is
essential for students and families to have a safe place to receive
nonjudgmental support to take steps towards healing. I have a
Master of Social Work from the University of Washington — Go
Dawgs!
To receive individual counseling, a student is referred by their
parent, teacher, or principal. Students can also request to see me.
I am available during school hours Monday-Friday, please reach out
to your child’s counselor to start the process. If you have any
questions about services, please email me at
[email protected]. Stay well. Lindsey Shafto, LSWAIC

Attendance During Remote Learning
If your student will be absent during their scheduled class
time, (synchronous learning) be sure to contact the CPMS attendance
office as well as your student’s teachers. Let us know if your
student will be able to complete the work at another time so their
attendance record can be accurately recorded.
Daily Attendance is expected of all students.
Families will be notified in the evenings, through robocalls and
emails, when a student is marked absent. Families can also
receive push notification through ParentVue as soon as their
student is marked absent. This feature can be turned off in
ParentVue. Families are not notified when absences are cleared or
changed though the updated attendance will be visible in
ParentVue.
Teachers can update attendance for 3 class days (until after the
next time the class meets) to allow for asynchronous
learning. If you believe your student was marked absent in
error, please notify their teacher.
Parents/Guardians can excuse an absence by contacting the
attendance office at [email protected] or (425)
408-6310. Tardies/Late arrivals are not being recorded
at this time.
