Counseling

Individual Counseling
Students can see the counselor and work with her for a variety of reasons including anxiety, organization, study skills, friendship problems, coping with stress, self-control, grief and loss, and issues related to self-esteem and divorce/separation.

Small Groups
Small group counseling is provided based upon the needs of the students. The counselor will assess these needs based upon referrals throughout the school year. Topics for small groups might include study skills, anger management, and social skills.

Classroom Counseling Lessons
The counselors teach lessons in Kindergarten every week and teach lessons in 1st-5th grades every other week. Some topics include listening skills, friendship, feelings, social skills, safety, and character traits.
