Classroom based counseling is a service provided to all students. The school counselor assists in teaching character education, social skills and other social and emotional topics needed as determined by the teacher throughout the school year.
- Individual counseling is offered when a student is referred by their parent, teacher or school director. Students may also request individual school counseling services. Students are provided with support in dealing with issues that interfere with their learning in school. The school counselor assists students in finding healthy ways to feel better so that they are more prepared to learn and enjoy school.
