Hello Evergreen Eagles Family,
My name is Diana Chavez Ketterman, but you can call me “Dr. K.” This is my third year at Evergreen where I have the pleasure of serving as your school psychologist and “Success Coach”. I have worked in the district since 1985 and have had the privilege of helping teens for 16 1/2 years, mainly at Diamond Bar High School and Ron Hockwalt Academy. With so many years spent at the secondary level, I am excited to be working again at the elementary school level to help students, teachers and parents work together to succeed as they begin and continue their school career. I am often asked what it means to be a success coach. Here is my answer. It means believing in seeing the best in every child and adult no matter what. I tell students, “I coach champions to display champion behaviors. I coach them to coach themselves so that I don’t need to be there coaching them all of the time.” What is success? Success means obtaining favorable results. In order to experience success, research by the Frostig Center in Pasadena identified the following six important ingredients for successful life outcomes: 1) Self-Awareness - knowing your strengths and areas of needed growth; 2) Goal Setting - choosing appropriate goals and identifying the steps needed to reach them; 3) Proactivity - taking the necessary actions needed to achieve your desired goals; 4) Home/School/Community Support Systems - encouraging and helping ourselves and others achieve our desired goals; 5) Emotional Coping Skills - dealing with stress, frustration, and setbacks in healthy ways that do not hurt self, others, or destroy property, and ; 6) Perseverance - having the willpower to keep trying even when you feel like giving up and success seems like it is beyond your reach. Remember it took Thomas Edison 2,000 tries before he was able to invent the light bulb. Please feel free to email me with your questions and concerns so that I can support you in helping your child succeed at Evergreen Elementary. We want every child to SOAR like an Eagle and feel like his/her years at Evergreen are successful and that people care about him/her in meaningful ways. One more thing, I am also a mother and grandmother so I have a lot of personal experience working with children. I love my job and feel honored to be working with your children. I can be reached by email at dketterman@walnutvalley.k12.ca.us or by phone at (909) 594-1041 ext 39106. I am on campus Mondays, Tuesdays, and Friday P.M. I also work for Westhoff Elementary on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Friday A.M. Here are some of my favorite quotes on success: “The road to success is always under construction.” “The dictionary is the only place where success comes before work.” “What have you learned from your mistakes lately?” Please feel free to greet me with a smile and a hello “Dr. K.” as we work together as parents and staff to help every child at Evergreen succeed. Let's SOAR toward Success by working together with mutual respect and fun, Dr. K. |
