Individual Counseling
Individual Counseling
Students may meet with the counselor on an individual basis if there are academic, social, or emotional concerns. Students may be referred to the counselor by a parent, teacher, or they can ask to speak with one of us. After the first meeting, parent permission must be obtained for sessions to continue (see form below). While the information is confidential, unless there is a suspicion of harm to self or others, students are encouraged to share with their parents what they are talking about in sessions.
Fill out this form and turn it into your teacher to refer your student for counseling services!
Small Group Counseling
Small Group Counseling
Group counseling offers students an opportunity to pursue common goals with a small group of peers. This is great for learning, and developing social skills. These groups usually meet once a week for 3-6 weeks. Students may be referred by a parent, teacher, or they can ask to speak with the counselor. Groups are formed as needed, and common topics include Self Control, School Success Skills, Family Changes (ex. Divorce), Anxiety/ Worry, Emotional Regulation, and Friendship/ Social Skills. While personal information regarding other group members is confidential, students are encouraged to share with their parents what they are learning in group. Parent permission is required to participate in small group counseling, see form above!
Classroom Guidance
Classroom Guidance
Classroom guidance lessons are taught to all students bi-weekly. This year we are focused on building strong character, we are using a program created by Capturing Kids' Hearts called Leadworthy to teach students the skills to help them succeed in school and life. The main goal of Leadworthy is to inspire and empower students to lead with heart. Each month, we will be focusing on a different character word to meet this goal. Below you can see our schedule for the year, and lessons your students will be getting in class.

Red Ribbon Week
Red Ribbon Week
Red Ribbon Week is one of the best weeks of the year! Students attending Guidance classes are presented with material that teaches drug and alcohol awareness, as well as medicine safety. These lessons are taught on a grade/age appropriate level with the focus being kept on growing and maintaining a health mind and body. We also participate in a theme every day, giving our students the chance to dress up and say NO to drugs!
