Our School Counseling Program offers individual, small group and classroom lessons covering a wide variety of topics.
School Counselors deliver Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Curriculum in grades 5-8 throughout the school year. These lessons compliment other Tier 1 Programming, such as Open Circle (5th Grade) and 6-8 Grade Advisory.
Adults throughout the building role model and teach both directly and indirectly SEL Skills each day across all content areas and spaces in our school.
