The School Counseling Program

Programs

The goal of the elementary counseling program is to identify and meet the needs of students, parents, and school personnel. 

The counselor's role is to provide early intervention for students to ensure their success in school and throughout life.  Counselors work proactively as a team with staff, parents, school psychologists, and community to create an atmosphere where children's needs are met through prevention and early identification.

Elementary counselors work with students individually, in group settings, and in the classroom. In addition, counselors work with parents to help their children reach their personal goals and build on their individual strengths.  Some of the goals of the counseling program include:

1.      Building self-esteem

2.      Academic success

3.      Providing a safe place to talk about school concerns

4.      Developing stronger interpersonal and social skills

5.      Improving attitudes about school and learning

6.      Developing problem solving skills

7.      Working through individual and personal issues and concerns’

8.      Develop positive coping skills

9.      Develop programs that positively reaches all of the students on campus

Students can be referred for counseling in many different ways.  They can be referred by parents, teachers, other school staff, and they can refer themselves.  Counselors are able to connect parents to school resources and community support as they are requested and needed.
