Counselors play a variety of roles within the school setting, from scheduling student classes to individual or group counseling.
Often times, if a parent has a question about navigating through middle school years, school counselors are a good place to start looking for answers. Our priority is helping students be successful in school. Some of the more common functions we serve are as follows:
- Individual/group support- working with students to support social emotional and self-regulation skill development
- Building organizational skills- individual work with students, families and teachers in order to track homework, facilitate communication and increase class progress
- Support development of students' Personal Learning Plan (PLP) college and career readiness skills
- Deliver core counseling curriculum classroom lessons
- Conflict resolution- individual/group work between peers around resolving conflicts which may interfere with class progress
- Facilitate student leadership activities and affinity groups (WEB, Gender Sexuality Alliance, Black Student Union, Dare 2 Be Real, People Unified, Student Environmental Activists)
- Adjusting schedules- to better serve student needs
- Monitor course completion-to help students successfully complete coursework in preparation for high school
