HMS Counselors will visit your child's classroom once a month to teach lessons on Character & Resilience skills.
August- Introduction Lesson November- Social Awareness
September- Self-Awareness January- Relationship Skills
October- Self-Management February/March- Responsible Decision Making
HMS Counselors use the GCS Character & Resilience Goals and Standards to help create and implement classroom lessons, small groups, and programs for our students.
Once a week during PAWS (1st Period), teachers use the program Character Strong to provide comprehensive and evidence‑based solutions and lessons to support life-readiness. Ask your child each week what their "Character Dare" is to hear more about what they are learning through the lessons!
The single most effective preventative tool regarding school safety and security is the See Something, Say Something protocol, which every school in Greenville County utilizes. It is critically important that if students see or hear something that is concerning, they say something to a trusted adult or report it.
In the case of a life threatening emergency, please call 9-1-1 . Call or text the Greenville County Schools Bullying Hotline at 864-794-6821, or email Greenville County Schools at speakup@greenvilleschools.us, or report anonymously at the See Something, Say Something Link for Greenville County.
