Campus Needs and Guidance

CLASSROOM GUIDANCE

Throughout the school year, the school counselors will visit classrooms for guidance lessons. We will employ a variety of counseling strategies to meet the diverse needs of our student population. Guidance lessons are based on both the beginning-of-the-year staff/parent/student needs assessment surveys as well as the Campus Improvement Plan.

A monthly calendar will be developed to address campus needs.

The areas of guidance to include:

• Self-confidence Development 
• Motivation to Achieve 
• Decision-Making, Goal-Setting, Planning, and Problem-Solving Skills 
• Interpersonal Effectiveness 
• Communication Skills 
• Cross-cultural Effectiveness 
• Responsible Behavior 

 
Lessons are tailored to specific grade level needs to insure appropriateness. Throughout the year, students are provided with information on drug & alcohol awareness, dangers of social media, bullying, body image concerns, managing and coping with their emotions, communicating effectively and making good academic, social, emotional & personal choices.
