Teachers and Professional School Counselors are partners. As a team, we consult to identify needs and opportunities for growth for all students. Counselors review student records and cases.
Miss S, teaching staff, and admin team work together to design behavioral, emotional, student success oriented skill building action plans for TK-5.
Your child's teacher might tell you she/he is making the Wellness/SEL Program aware of the needs they observe. Miss S may work with teacher to support classroom success as well as reach out to the family to offer to design a wellness action plan.

Parents can ask for additional support for their children. Meeting individually with a student may or may not be the best way to achieve the desired goal. The first step of the process is evaluation. Miss S will review the needs, goals, and requests and make recommendations on the best course of action in the form of a wellness plan. This plan can include school or community based supports (and often includes parent homework!).
