These issues may involve divorce or separation, self- esteem, friendship, serious illness, family death, school phobia, over activity, social skills, classroom behavioral management, etc. Referrals to these counseling programs can be made by teachers, parents or children. Parental permission is required for these programs. Parents are encouraged to make their child's teacher and the school counselor aware of any changes in their child's life that could affect school performance. The Guidance Counselor also meets the needs of those students, teachers and parents who are not experiencing crisis or difficulty, but need advisement.
Many students seek appointments just to be heard in a safe and confidential setting.
Many teachers and parents enjoy sharing research articles. The school counselor also consults with a number of professionals and agencies outside of the school setting who may be providing services to your child. At times, the school counselor may suggest that you seek the services of outside sources for issues that are not school related, however, impact upon your child's development. Centerville's Guidance Program is designed to work with you. Any questions or concerns may be discussed with Mrs. Haberl by appointment or over the phone at 790- 9890.
