Counseling Services

Individual Counseling

Some students can benefit from one-on-one counseling regarding academic, social, or emotional challenges, as well as career and personal plans. Please note that school counselors do not provide therapy. Referrals for outside counseling services are available for students who need long term counseling services.

Small Group Counseling

A variety of small groups are offered to students who may benefit from spending some extra time developing academic, social, or emotional skills along with their peers, and to students who are coping with similar life situations. Groups can have anywhere from 4-6 members and usually meet once a week during the virtual school day.

Classroom Guidance Lessons

The classroom lessons will be facilitated through the Second Step program for kindergarten through eighth grade. The lessons typically last 30-45 minutes in length and cover topics such as school readiness skills, understanding feelings of self and others, problem solving skills, friendship skills, and study skills.
