School Counseling

We are here to help you and your students! Here are some ways we can offer support:

• Individual Counseling: By teacher, parent, or student self-referral, we work with students on social, emotional, or academic issues.
• Small Group Counseling: Your school counselors will facilitate small groups on different topics throughout the year. Referrals are made by teachers, parents, or student based.
• Classroom Guidance Lessons: Each month your School Counselors will teach lessons to your students based on topics related to citizenship and prosocial behaviors.
• Consultation: We work with teachers and parents to understand and meet each individual students' needs.
• Coordination: We offer assistance in making use of community resources and referrals to outside agencies.
• Advocacy: We strive to support the rights of each individual child.
• Crisis Management: We offer support during times of trauma affecting individual students or the entire school community.

• Small groups are developed on an "as needed" basis to target areas of concern within the school. Small groups could target such topics as organization, attendance, school performance, friendships, bullying, etc.
• Lunch bunch is used as a reward to encourage students who are having difficulty behaving in the classroom environment. If students earn four fantastic days out of five, they may come to Lunch Bunch. This involves coming to the Guidance Office during lunch to play games, participate in an art activity or watch a movie. Lunch Bunch is also used as a means to develop social skills. Pre-selected students come to the Guidance Office during lunch and in an informal setting, learn about and practice social skills.
