The Dickson County school system values the care and support of the Whole Child.
Each elementary student is served by a full time School Counselor in their building.
Students who understand their feelings are better able to control their behaviors
We know that stress can affect focus and learning, but its impact can be reduced with self-regulation strategies
Attitudes formed during elementary school shape future attitudes towards learning, self, and society
School, parents, and communities that communicate and collaborate provide the most effective support to children
Children learn best when they feel good about themselves and their relationships with others
School Counseling Services:
Individual counseling, small group counseling, classroom guidance lessons, crisis intervention, consultation with parents and teachers, coordination with outside resources, referrals to community services, and more!
Here are some activities you can complete with your child at home to build social and emotional connection.
If you feel as if A child may benefit from a 504 plan, please feel free to reach out to the school counselor.
Please contact your child's school counselor with any questions you may have!
