Making a Safe Place for Students Who Identify as Furries, Therians, and Otherkins

Recently my daughter and I were having a conversation about "furries" as I was getting dressed for work ( we have a lot of random conversations ).

Then there were the suitemates...well, let's say they were not as dedicated. Imagine, if you will, a bath tub at the end of the week with four girls bathing twice a day using hair products, baby oil, body wash, shower gel, and shaving cream. Well, let's say it was not pretty.

Hello, my name is Cindy and I am a formaholic! Whether electronic or traditional, I love forms of all kinds and I use them in various ways.

Because I have been a school counselor since (cough) 2000, I have accumulated and created lots of documents. If you love forms as much as me, you will LOVE this blog post!! Below, you will see original forms that I have created and borrowed from other schools and school counselors. In all, there are over 1000 forms available in this post.
