The Counselor's Bulletin
Stay in the know regarding the Counseling Office!
Additional Responsibilities:
- MTSS Coordinator: If you have an academically or behaviorally struggling student that does not already receive 504 or Special Education services, I can discuss accommodations available to help your student.
- GT Coordinator - inform parents of deadlines, collect appropriate forms, and gather referrals from parents, teachers, AND students.
- DukeTIP Coordinator: A program offered to 7th grade students (GT students and high-performing STAAR students) giving them a unique opportunity to take the ACT test in the spring.
why is school counseling necessary?
- Students learn best when they feel good about themselves and their relationships with others.
- When a child has a solid understanding of his emotions, he is better able to control his feelings.
- We encourage our students to be independent and responsible for themselves.
- When schools, parents, and students all collaborate together, the result is an effective support of the child.
- Attitudes that form during the school-aged years shape the future attitudes towards self-efficacy, learning, and society.
How you can help this month!
Parent Needs Assessment
Parents, please take a quick moment to fill out the Parent Needs Assessment survey. It only takes a couple of minutes, and the results will help me to define the counseling program so that it assesses the needs of OUR campus.
Use your camera or a QR Code reader to access the survey. (Ask your kid for help if necessary!)
COMING SOON!
GT Referral Window

The Gifted and Talented referral window will be opening on 9/30/2019. Students in grade 5 will automatically be tested, per the district, unless a parent signs the Opt Out form refusing testing. ALL other students can be tested with appropriate paperwork.
Students currently in GT will NOT have to be retested; they will continue services.
