Counseling Program

• The school counselors are available to students to help develop their educational, social, career and personal strengths and become responsible and productive citizens. 

Intervention may be provided through: 

• Classroom Guidance: large group instruction in the classroom focusing on the general needs, interests, concerns, and behaviors of all students.
  
  

• Small Group Counseling: two or more students working with a counselor discussing a specific area of concern to develop positive relationships, solve problems, and work toward goals. Parental permission is required.
  
  

• Individual Counseling: personal and private interaction between a counselor and a student in which they work together on a personal or academic concern. Parents will be notified if the concern affects the safety of the student or others. Parental permission is required.
  
  

• A student can make a self referral for counseling by completing a Student Referral Form or indicating to a teacher, administrator, or counselor a desire for individual counseling. A parent has the right to elect by signing a waiver form, that his child not participate in guidance and counseling activities.
