Your child may have come home and told you that they met with the counselor today or had a class with them. Please don’t panic!  Our favorite part of this job is going into the classrooms for guidance lessons. These classes cover topics/TEKS such as:

• Anti- Bully/ Kindness
• Conflict Resolution
• Safety Rules and Decision Making
• College and Career Exploration
• Social Skills

Guidance classes are done in a classroom setting and are not therapeutic.  Through guidance classes, we get to know all of our students and become a supportive staff member in the building.  

The counseling program consists of Guidance classes, small groups, and individual support. For groups and individual time, the counselor will involve parents as partners, along with their teacher. Individual visits are meant to support school success and do not involve “therapy”. Our goal as school counselors is to support students during their time at school, and on an as needed basis.  Individual meetings with students would involve reaching out to the parents to keep them informed.  We are happy to provide you with outside resources, as needed.

Please let us know if you ever need our support or have any questions.  If you would like to preview any of our guidance curriculum, please contact either Mrs. Edge or Mrs. Garcia.
