Small Group/Individual Lessons 

 

When do they happen? Who qualifies? What is the process? What is the goal of this?  
Small counseling groups will be developed based on student needs. Initial groups will be created after disaggregating the data from a county wide Parent/Student Needs Assessment that will go out in the month of September.

Teachers are welcome to provide names of students who may benefit from small group counseling. Please keep in mind though that these types of interactions require student AND parent approval. We do not force students to participate in small group counseling, as it is not best practice or in the interest of the student’s emotional well-being.
