• K-4 School Counseling

    To enhance children’s self-esteem and improve skills in dealing with developmental issues, the counseling staff will provide a range of services. These services include assisting teachers in classroom presentations to all children as needed, additional activities for some children in small groups, and individual short-term counseling for a limited number of students.

    The counseling staff also provides growth experiences for parents and teachers. Parents will be aided in parenting skills, understanding behavioral dynamics and dealing with life’s unexpected changes. Teachers can expect to receive assistance with effective communication skills, behavioral dynamics, and learning modalities.
