Program Information
What do school counselors do?
A comprehensive school counseling program supports growth in the following areas: academic, social/emotional, and career development.
Individual Counseling
Individual counseling is solution-focused and short-term in nature. Individual counseling occurs when a referral is made by staff, parent, or student. The student will meet with the counselor at a time that is conducive to the student's schedule.
Classroom Lessons
All students receive classroom lessons throughout the year either in their homeroom class or during related arts. Lessons will cover a variety of life skill topics, such as social skills, bullying prevention, emotional regulation, and career awareness and exploration.
Small Groups
Throughout the year, small groups will be held. These groups give students an opportunity to learn new social skills and gain a variety of perspectives as they interact with their peers with similar situations.
