Yearly Feedback- How can the Counseling Program be Improved?

May 27, 2016

Individual Counseling
Students are referred for counseling through a variety of means:
Teacher Referral
Parent Referral
Student Referral
Online Referral Form (on the school and counseling website)
Parent/Teacher Conference
*Students are seen within 24 hours of referral being made
*We try to see students during encores
*This year approximately 335 individual counseling sessions
Group Counseling
Past Group Topics have Included:
Study Skills
Anger Management
Friendship/ Salvaging Sisterhood
Groups are difficult to schedule: Lunch vs Advisory vs Encore Classes vs Wave Schedule
Classroom Guidance
Classroom Guidance scheduled by core classes
We like this structure because it allows us into every class and integrates our standards into your curriculums
Suggestions on how to schedule this for 2016-2017 school year

Menu
Ham rolls
Pasta salad
Fruit tray
Chips and Dip
Cookie

Bully Report Form
We monitor the report form but don’t necessarily handle all of the reports in the counseling office
If we feel a report would be better handled by administration (because it is true bullying and not an incident) we copy and paste the actual report and email it to the appropriate administration personnel
120 reports made during the 2015-2016 school year
Other Programs/ Duties
PRIDE
Rachel’s Challenge
JS2S
Leadership Team
Counseling Coffee Corner
Career Day
Red Ribbon Week

Angle Tree/ HEM/ Weekend Backpacks
Registrar/ Cumulative Folders
