The goal of the counseling and guidance program is to develop the academic, personal/social and career skills of students by providing a comprehensive guidance curriculum while working collaboratively with staff, parents, and the community.
The Guidance curriculum will be implemented through monthly guidance classes. Guidance covers a myriad of different topics relative to children's development. Topics will also be specific to individual classrooms. Some guidance topics include:
- Friendship
- Bullying
- Self Esteem
- Peer Pressure
- Cultural Diversity
- Drug Awareness
- Career Awareness
- Character Education
