Tier 1 Services-Guidance Lessons

Whole-group guidance is part of the Tier 1 services that the School Counselor provides to ALL students. Guidance lessons are done once a month in every homeroom and they are based on the needs of the campus and some state-mandated topics, such as Bullying Prevention.

Tier 2 Services- Small Groups/Lunch Bunch

Lunch Bunch referrals are made by teachers and families; these groups typically meet for 3 weeks. These groups are designed to give students the opportunity to socialize and make new friends during lunch; oftentimes, new students (new to the campus or to the district) are referred to these groups. If you would like to refer your student for a Lunch Bunch group, please contact your campus counselor. 

 

Small Group Counseling referrals are made by teachers and families; they typically meet for 6-8 weeks, depending on the topic. These groups are topic-specific and are designed to help students gain tools for dealing with things like test anxiety, self-esteem, making and keeping friends, study skills, grief, etc. If you would like to refer your student for a small group, please contact your campus counselor. A consent form will be sent home for parent/guardian permission once the student is referred and if the student is interested in participating in the small group.
