School Counseling
School Counseling
The counseling program at Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ aims to support students in having the best school experience possible. There is a school counselor for grades K-5 and grades 6-8. If emotional or social issues negatively impact a student’s ability to learn, the school counselors will work with the student to help him or her succeed.
Counseling for students at Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ includes individual and small group counseling and classroom guidance lessons. Students may self-refer or be referred by a teacher, administrator, or parent.
School counselors are also integral members of a student’s educational team. They assist in providing observations and writing behavioral plans. The counselors consult with teachers and partner with parents to reinforce positive school behaviors and address issues that affect a student’s learning.
In addition, the school counselor serves as a liaison between Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ and outside resources, including when outside assessment is needed to determine how best to serve a student. After testing, the counselor communicates special needs and appropriate accommodations to the teacher and works with the Educational Support Team to provide support and assistance.
