School Counseling Services
Classroom Curriculum (ACES)
Lessons are taught to all grades levels, preventative, developmentally appropriate, and address academic, career, emotional and social growth.
Small Group Counseling
Using a psycho-educational model, small groups help students reflect on their experiences, recognize they are not alone, and enhance relationship, intrapersonal, learning & behavioral skills. Parents are notified when their child is selected to participate.
Individual Counseling
When appropriate, the school counselor meets with individual students on a short-term basis. These sessions can be for planning academically or of a social/emotional nature.
