Our Counseling Program
The goal of the Alexander School Counseling Program is to help students succeed academically and socially. We strive to provide a developmentally appropriate, preventative program to meet the needs of all students. School counseling is an important component of our Multi Tiered System of Supports (MTSS).
All students receive Tier 1 interventions. These are universal supports that promote positive social, emotional, and character development.
Examples of universal supports include - Classroom Counseling Lessons and Lunch Bunch (all students in grades 3-5 are invited to join Lunch Bunch).
Students identified as being at risk for a given concern or problem receive Tier 2 interventions in addition to the universal supports. These are targeted interventions which include behavior plans and small group sessions.
Students identified as experiencing difficulties despite universal and targeted support receive Tier 3 interventions. Tier 3 interventions are intensive individualized supports. Examples of these supports include - individual sessions, daily check-ins, and outside referrals.
