Direct Services with students
Individual Counseling services are available on a request and situation urgency. Parents and staff will complete the individual counseling request form, and student will be seen in the order of urgency and request. Please be aware that ethically school counselors can not do therapy in a school setting. That's considered outside their scope of practice. However, school counselors can do brief counseling for any social and emotional issues regarding family & school. If a student needs to be seen consistently (more than 3 or 4 times for the same issue/concern), school counselors need to refer the child for outside therapy. In the section below, you can find outside counseling resources for on-going therapy.
Responsive Services
Small Group Counseling services are available on parent and teacher recommendation. We meet with each lunch bunch group for 4-6 weeks. Then, a new group of students will be chosen for the next rotation.
On our campus, we also have the Stoney Point High School PALS program and the RRISD mentor program. During the year, special topics small groups might be needed as a Grief group, Divorce group or Friendship group. These special topics groups usually last 6 weeks and are run by a counselor. If your child is recommended to be part of a lunch bunch, PALS/Mentor program or a special topic group, we will send home a permission slip for you to sign.
Classroom Guidance Counseling services are available for every classroom on our campus. The school year's lesson calendar is based on RRISD Counseling department curriculum and state/national standards. Classroom teachers also develop SEL (Social Emotional Learning) in their classrooms. Our campus also uses Capturing Kids' Hearts and Restorative Practices to support students' SEL.
