Counseling and Behavior Team

The job of our counseling/behavior team is to help give children the tools they need to be successful in life.  We focus on Social Emotional Learning.  Guidance lessons are done bi-monthly in classrooms.  In our lessons, we cover topics such as Bullying, Body Safety, and Drug Awareness/Prevention.  We also work on social situations, friendships, problem solving, and emotions.  Students can work one on one or in small groups with the school counselor or behavior interventionist as needed.

 

If ever you have a question or concern, please call or email.  We have access to many resources!  As parents, we are all doing our best.  If there is anything we can do to help your family, please let us know.  We believe that it takes a team to raise a child, and we’re glad to be a part of your team!
