The school year is officially in high gear, and the Counseling Office has been a whirlwind of activity. We are thrilled to see the energy our students are bringing to the halls, and we’ve been hard at work ensuring everyone is set up for success for the upcoming school year.
Here is a quick look at what we’ve been up to and what’s just around the corner:
Welcome, Future Coyotes! We have officially finished registering our incoming 6th graders. We can’t wait to welcome the newest members of our school family and help them navigate their transition.
High School Bound: Our 8th graders are prepped, polished, and ready for their next big adventure. We’ve spent the last few weeks ensuring they have everything they need to head off to high school with confidence.
Looking Ahead: For our current 6th and 7th graders, the spotlight is about to turn to you! The course selection process for next year will begin very soon. Please visit the pages above to see what to expect with course selections.
As we all focus on transitioning to the next grade level and looking toward the future, let’s not forget the importance of staying grounded in the present.
While schedules and credits are important, being kind is a pillar of our school community. We encourage all students to participate in "Random Acts of Kindness" this month. Whether it’s holding a door, offering a word of encouragement to a peer, or thanking a teacher, these small gestures make a massive difference during a busy season.
Mission Statement
The Coyote Counseling Department is committed to fostering a community of lifelong learners.
In collaboration with parents, teachers, administrators, and the broader community, our school counselors support students in achieving growth across all areas—academic, personal, social, and emotional.
The Texas Model for Comprehensive School Counseling Programs is an integral part of each student's total educational program. It is developmental and systematic in nature and vital to the achievement in education for all students. Comprehensive school counseling programs organize resources to meet the priority needs of all students through four delivery service components:
Guidance Curriculum, Individual Planning, Responsive Services, and System Support.
The Four Components of a Comprehensive School Counseling Program
Guidance Curriculum
Throughout the school year, counselors focus on delivering the guidance curriculum with the purpose to help all students develop transferable skills relative to their educational, career, personal, and social and emotional development.
The four strategic curricular content areas are Intrapersonal Effectiveness, Interpersonal Effectiveness, Post-Secondary Planning and Career Readiness, and Personal Health and Safety.
Topics for delivery may include helping students develop a positive self-concept, effective conflict resolution skills, motivation to succeed in personal endeavors, and the demonstration of resiliency and coping skills.
Individual Planning
The purpose of individual planning is to guide all students as they learn to plan, monitor, and manage their own goals.
Efforts are consistently made to meet with students individually or in groups using a variety of resources to assist students in developing and implementing personalized plans.
Various considerations are made during the individual planning process to ensure inclusivity of all students regarding multi-cultural consideration, special populations, multiple intelligences, and academic implications with regards to specialized circumstances and/or services.
Responsive Services
The purpose of responsive services is to support all students in their time of need and intervene on behalf of those whose immediate circumstances or concerns interfere with their daily functioning.
All students are provided equitable access to school counseling services with the purpose of providing preventative or remedial services for the development of foundational skills.
At times, these services may elevate to crisis services that could involve specific protocols that include district policies and procedures as well as state law.
System Support
The purpose of system support is to identify and coordinate resources and activities on campus and in the community that indirectly benefit students.
System support, the foundation of the school counseling program assists with identifying the various needs of the students and campus through consultation with school staff and interpretation of data.
In collaboration with parents, teachers, administrators, and the community, Counselors are able to advocate for student needs and plan and implement programs that benefit all students throughout the school year.
