Student Wellbeing Services by Grade Level

DID YOU KNOW:

Student Wellbeing Counselors have a wealth of experience and knowledge to best serve our students.

The primary focus of meeting with a student is to build students’ capacity for wellbeing and academic success (help them self regulate and turn on their learning brain).

Student Wellbeing Counselors & Coaches work closely with administration, teachers, staff, and parents to coordinate, facilitate, and implement the best support services. The Student Wellbeing Teams works with students individually and in groups and provides interventions and services depending upon their area of focus and expertise.

Student Support Handbook Section and Referral process:

PUSD will provide students with the skills needed for academic success by teaching self awareness, self regulation, and interpersonal skills through monthly character themes provided by the Leadworthy Character Curriculum (CKH) to increase positive relationships on a personal, school, family and community level. https://www.capturingkidshearts.org/students/leadworthy-character-curriculum

Students can also be referred for additional 1-1 or small group services to be delivered by a Student Wellbeing Counselor (character coach, school counselor, academic advisor, or a mental health therapist depending upon the specific need) in three ways:

1)By their teacher or principal

2)By their parent or guardian

3)By a self-referral

4)By a peer referral

Once a student is referred, the Student Wellbeing Counselor can see the student once without parent permission in an emergency situation, and these situations will be followed up with parental contact and notification.

coping tools to deal with stress
career preparation and planning
learning strategies and skills
barriers to learning
conflict resolution/communication

If it seems a student needs further support, the student wellbeing staff will then notify the parent or guardian. If counseling is agreed to, the parent or guardian will sign a counseling consent form.

*If you would like to opt out of this 1x emergency service and be notified in place of the wellbeing counselor please contact your child’s principal.

When Does School Counseling Happen?

The school counseling meeting either individually or within a group will happen sometime during the school day. The student will meet with the student wellbeing counselor one time a week. Normally, the meeting will last about 15-30 minutes for a 1-1 meeting or 30-50 minutes for a small group meeting.
