What We Do

Click here for more information about the role of a school counselor: American School Counselor Association's (ASCA’s) Roles of School Counselors

Individual and Group Counseling

Counselors address the needs of students in several ways. For example, we regularly communicate with teachers and administrators to determine current functioning and progress. In addition, we value parent and student input when planning lessons and groups.

Small groups vary from year to year and by grade level. Topics may include areas such as divorce, grief, peer relations or conflict resolution. Parent permission is required for students to participate in small groups.

Counselors meet with students individually based on parent, student and teacher requests. We also meet with students individually to plan for the future, both academically and socially.

If you have any questions regarding individual or small group counseling, please contact your child's grade level counselor.

Classroom Lessons

Grade level counselors are regularly in classrooms to teach a variety of lessons to help students be successful both academically and socially. We also focus on activities that will help students as they begin to investigate their interests and potential careers.

Depending on your child's grade level, some of the topics that will be covered during the course of the year are:

  • Introductory Lesson
  • Test Taking Strategies
  • Goal Setting
  • Bullying and Harassment
  • Prevention
  • Self-Esteem
  • Stress and Anxiety

  • Learning Styles
  • Study Skills
  • Career Exploration

Other topics will be covered based on student need.
