SCHOOL COUNSELORS: GUIDANCE and COUNSELING SERVICES Classroom Guidance: Students participate in guidance activities within the classroom setting on a regular basis. These activities focus on character education (Character Counts www.charactercounts.org) and the development of positive learning behaviors/social skills (Project Alert/Life Skills Training). Small Group Counseling: Opportunities are available on a voluntary basis (and/or parental/self referral) for students to participate in group counseling. Topics are on an as needed basis and may include development of social skills, conflict management or grief counseling. Individual Counseling: Individual counseling may be requested by the parent for the child or by the child him/herself. Except in suspected child abuse or at the special request of the student (as stated by SD codified Law 19-13-12.1), parents will be informed of the need for individual counseling. In some cases, situations may require referral to community resources, after parental consultation. |
