Classroom Guidance Lessons

This year counselors will be implementing Second Step Curriculum for Social & Emotional Learning. We will be visiting classrooms once a month throughout the school year and students will learn different social & emotional skills. Lessons typically last 30-45mins and cover topics such as following directions, recognizing bullying, focusing attention, growth mindset, understanding different perspectives, career awareness, & etc.

Small Groups Counseling

A variety of small groups will be offered to students who may benefit from spending some extra time developing academic, social, or emotional skills. Students will interact with their peers who are coping with similar life situations. Groups can have anywhere from 6-8 members and will meet once a week for 4-6 weeks. Permission slips of consent will be provided for the participation within groups.

Individual Counseling

Some students can benefit from one-on-one counseling regarding academic, social, or emotional challenges. Permission slips of consent will be provided if the student needs individual counseling on a weekly basises.
