Our Counseling Program
An elementary school
counseling program is designed to be preventive in nature; and is based upon the
fact that all children experience normal development problems in the process of
growing up. However, some of our children are faced with more complex
problems. If we hope to prevent these problems from becoming serious
enough to interfere with learning, they must be addressed during one of the most
critical times in children's lives - during the elementary years.
The following are a part of the
school counseling program:
Counseling:
Counseling takes place individually, in small groups, and during classroom
guidance sessions. Students may refer themselves for counseling or may be
referred by their teacher, other school staff members, parents, or by a
friend.
Consultation:
The counselor is
available to consult with parents, teachers, administrators, school psychologists
and social workers, medical professionals, and community agency personnel in
regard to social, emotional, and educational needs of students.
Coordination:
The counselor is
responsible for coordination of the counseling program within the school
including regularly scheduled classroom guidance lessons and orientation
for new students. The counselor also serves on various committees within
the
school and is available as a resource to parents and teachers.
