Elementary School Student Services – Program Acknowledgement
Elementary school years set the tone for developing the knowledge, attitudes and skill necessary for children to become healthy, competent and confident learners. Early identification and intervention of children’s academic and personal/social needs is essential in removing barriers to learning and in promoting academic achievement. Through a comprehensive developmental school counseling program, counselors work as a team with the school staff, parents and the community to create a caring climate and atmosphere.
During the school year, your student will participate in the following lessons as part of the comprehensive developmental counseling program detailed above. If you wish to preview any material, please consult your school’s counselors directly. If you wish for your student NOT to participate in any of the following lessons, please communicate with your school’s counselor directly. Timing of the delivery of lessons can vary across schools in the district. It is important to reach out early in the school year if you wish for your student to NOT participate.
