Individual support Individual support is available to all at the request of teachers, parents, or students. Individual support within the school setting is short-term. If your child tells you he/she met with me, please don't be alarmed. Sometimes students visit me once or twice, and are able to solve their problem. If students come to my office more than twice or if it is of a serious nature parents are contacted.
Small groups Small Group Guidance provides a supportive environment for students experiencing similar issues. These groups give students the opportunity to share ideas and support one another. Small groups are conducted based on the needs of our students. They typically run once a week for 20-30 minutes and are 5-6 weeks in length. Again, parental permission is required.
