The elementary school counseling program is a part of the total school program. It is child-centered and encourages a student's social, emotional, and personal growth.
Counselors work with students, parents, and teachers to help students maximize their potential.
Guidance counselors conduct class lessons, counsel individual students, conduct small groups, and consult with parents, teachers, and other professionals. Classroom guidance lessons support character education traits of respect, responsibility, acceptance, honesty, kindness, cooperation, and wisdom. Counseling is short-term, voluntary, and confidential. Parental permission is obtained prior to extended individual or group counseling.
