The office discipline reports indicated that a large percentage of the referrals were due to Inappropriate Conduct during the 2021-2022 school year. From August 2021 to May 2022, there were a total of 537 discipline referrals submitted. Out of the 537 referrals submitted, 239 of them were related to Inappropriate Conduct/Verbal Aggression. In response to this data, the School Counselors used guidance lessons that were provided through the Second Step program. The focus was to provide 2 school-wide guidance lessons per month to target social-emotional learning in the areas of setting goals, mindsets, bullying, thoughts, emotions, relationships, and conflict resolution. School Counselors also provided counseling groups to target respectful communication skills, social norms, positive mindset, using assertiveness, and conflict resolution and reduce the number of office referrals. Our school participated in the Sandy Hook Foundation program called “Start With Hello” which comprised of classroom lessons, ice breakers, and connection activities to reduce social isolation and promote positive relationships. During the Anti-Bullying Week, school counselors organized a school-wide Kindness Challenge in which all students and staff participated. Following that, all students and staff participated in a week of “Attitude of Gratitude” activities, which is a week in November. This week focused on students being helpful, kind, and grateful to their school family and community. We evaluated the outcome of these efforts through continued monitoring of discipline data. In the Spring, the CAC evaluated the referral data. In comparison to the Fall and Spring semesters, there was a total decrease in office referrals by 10%!

Working With Stakeholders
The Rick Schneider Middle School counselors value the input and collaboration from all stakeholders including teachers, counselors from other schools, district specialists, parents, community partners, district resources, the school nurse, and students. The counseling program needs are shared with all stakeholders, and assistance is utilized from all resources to ensure that all delivery component expectations are being met. The Pasadena ISD counseling department works closely together to support one another to share resources among schools to meet the needs in the areas of Guidance Curriculum and Responsive Services. The Individual Planning component is a collaboration of teachers, community partners, and the administrative team on campus. Lines of communication between counselors and stakeholders are always open through our school website, social media, emails, newsletters, callouts, text messages, and word of mouth. Counselors believe that all feedback is crucial to the continued growth of the counseling program.
