skills - to learn strategies to be a successful and productive student; personal or body safety - to learn
simple, straight forward strategies to protect themselves from abusive
situations; bully awareness - how to
identify and deal with bully behaviors; conflict
resolution - learn problem solving methods; friendship skills - learn ways to make and maintain friendships;
and career awareness - introducing
children to a variety of career options. If you have questions regarding the
guidance curriculum, please feel free to contact your school counselor.
The school counselors are available to meet individually
with your child on expressed concerns. Typically, the counseling is of
