Comprehensive School Counseling Program
The
comprehensive school counseling program at Lake Silver Elementary is designed
to support students’ overall success in school by focusing on the needs of the
whole student. The program offers a variety of opportunities for students
to grow socially, emotionally and academically, making the most of his or her
educational experience. The following are examples of the counseling
services that are available:
Individual
Counseling- Short
term or crisis counseling is available on an ongoing basis. Referrals for
counseling may be made by the teacher, administration, parents or student
self-referral.
Group
Counseling-
Small group counseling will be offered with focus on such topics as, but not
limited to, social skills, family changes, peer relationships and success after
retention. Groups will be formed based on student needs and meet once a week
during the school day. Every effort will be made to schedule groups at
ideal times.
Classroom
Guidance- Every classroom will receive guidance lessons during the school
year. These lessons will assist in enhancing a school wide character
education program, as students will have the opportunity to earn Paws-itive
Paws for exemplifying the monthly “Tiger Traits”. Lessons will include
topics such as respect, citizenship, responsibility, self-control, bullying
prevention and child safety.
Referral-
Referrals
can be made for additional mental health services, community agencies, and
other resources for families and their children.
Transition-
New
student orientations are ongoing to ensure student adjustment.
Resources- If you are unable to
purchase school supplies or uniforms, please let me know, as there are school
supplies and gently used uniforms available as well as uniform scholarships. A
Love Pantry is also available, stocked with food for the students to bring
home. If you would like to donate gently used uniforms or other school
supplies, we will gladly accept them and pass along to our students.
