School counselors meet with individual and small groups to address various topics. Students may self refer, or be referred by parents, teachers, or other staff members.

The classroom guidance components allow us to meet with each class once monthly. Classroom lessons address age appropriate, targeted areas of student development and are supported by activities that are conducted on a planned basis. Topics may include, but are not limited to:

Bullying
Respect
Decision making
Conflict resolution
Friendship skills
Personal safety
Problem-solving skills
Drug Awareness/Making Healthy Choices
