Individual Counseling

The counseling service is offered to students. They may be referred by their teachers, parents, the principal or they may make a self-referral. Counseling may be on a regular basis throughout the year or for a short duration, depending on the individual needs.

Classroom Counseling

The counselor has a year-long program of classroom counseling. All classrooms in the school are visited from four to six weeks for courses in study skills. Classroom counseling is also done in first grade on identifying feelings and respecting others' feelings. In second grade, the curriculum is for identifying strangers and how to keep yourself safe. Third and fifth grade counseling curriculum is to help students understand how each person is different and to learn to be the best "ME" I can be. Fourth grade stresses relationships and getting along with others at home and at school .

Group Counseling

Group counseling differs from year to year according to the students' needs. Examples of groups in the past would include: children of divorce, grief groups for close relatives and friends, and how to cope with being ADHD, to name a few.

Parenting

The counselor offers parenting sessions on a bi-yearly basis. (More often if enough parents are interested). The counselor is also available to speak at P.T.O. meetings. He or she regularly works with parents on helping them help their children through difficulties at school or at home.
