Spring Personalized Counseling Meetings
At Riverwood, we believe that every student is unique and that requires us to serve each one differently. To do so, we must invest time into each child and learn what their unique strengths and challenges are, as well as their unique interests. To ensure we do this, we have developed a personalized approach to counseling.
We have officially started our personal counseling meetings. In these meetings, we will discuss the goals your child sets for themselves and plan for their academic adventures, while meeting their social and emotional needs.
What is a Comprehensive Counseling Program?
A comprehensive school counseling program is an integral component of the school’s mission. Comprehensive school counseling programs are driven by student data and based on the Texas Model for Comprehensive School Counseling Program guidelines.
